&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;document.theForm.<wbr />submit(); return false;&quot;&gt;Click here to view&lt;/a&gt;
</div>


Another solution:

<a href="#" onclick="document.theForm.submit(); return false;">Click here to view</a>

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a form and due to client demands they want to be able to click a text link to submit the form. &nbsp;So the link looks like this: &lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;document.theForm.<wbr />submit()&quot;&gt;<wbr />Click here to view&lt;/a&gt;<br />
<br />
the problems are, a) this is a cgi page, b) there is a &lt;base&gt; tag defined&lt;base href=&quot;mydomain.com&quot;&gt;. So clicking the link, actually takes me to mydomain.com/# instead of just leaving me at my current location. &nbsp;Putting in the full path to the page in the href causes me to lose my form data.<br />
<br />
Can anybody help me resolve this?

submit from a text link - with a twist

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
