Hi Everyone,

Im new to javascript and i am having a problem submiting my form using a link.

Here's my code

<html>
<head>
<title>
form test
</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<form name="myform" method="post" action="formtest2.php">
<input type="text" name="purchaseid">
</form>

<p>
<A HREF="formtest2.php" onclick="formSubmit()">confirm & navigate to somewhere else</A>
</p>

</body>
</html>

On trying to recieve the parameter i get the Notice : Undefined index: purchaseid

Can anyone help?

Looks like a problem retrieving the info, not submitting the form ...

Are you sure this is a javascript and not a php question?

Cheers,
Dian

Well in not so sure as im returning the parameter as usual in php, also if i add in target ="_blank" the parameter is returned ok in the same window , however a new windo opens in the browser with the undefined index notice.

Strange.
