Using the anchor tag to submit a form

No.

There's a way to submit form *data*, but not the data filled out by someone, only form data pre-coded into the page.

You can submit a form with an image, which you can fake up to look like text, of course.

What did you want to occur when you submit the form, e.g. send the contents of the form via email from a cgi or perl script, or mailto, just do something on the client (user's browser only), etc.

I'd like to capture the contents of a textfield in a session variable for use later on.

In addition, you can also use the following code to actually submit the form.  I just realized that this might be more specific to your question.

<script language="javascript">
<!--
function SubmitMe() {
  document.myform.submit();
}
//-->
</script>


The anchor tag would then look like:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onClick="SubmitMe()">Click Me</a>

I just realized an even simpler way to write the submit via a link, which would be what I would suggest using.  This way you don't need an extraneous code.

<A HREF="javascript:void(0)" onClick="document.myform.submit(); return false">

tec

<script language=javascript>
letsubmit()
{
   form1.submit
}
</script>

<form name="form1" method="POST" action="action.asp">
.......
</form>
<a href="javascript:letsubmit()">submit</a>

Thanks for the help.  I really appreciate it.
