Submitting a form with javscript

[JoeAtRevolutionUnltd]

When submitting a form using document.myform.submit, how is the form submitted? I am validating my form using PHP but I'm not getting anything in the $_POST array.

Any ideas?

Hi

The [tt]form[/tt] is always submitted with the method specified in the [tt]method[/tt] attribute. The difference is that if no [tt]submit[/tt] or [tt]image[/tt] button activated the submitting, then no [tt]submit[/tt] or [tt]image[/tt] button information will be included. Otherwise the data is sent the same way and there is not way to detect any difference on the server side.

Show us your code.

I was trying to submit the form with an image using this code

<a href="#" onClick="document.myform.submit();"><img src=""></a>

I also tried

<img src="" onClick="document.myform.submit();">

I got it to work with

<input onClick="document.myTicketForm.submit();" type="image" src=""/>

I'm assuming the form won't submit unless I either fake clicking the submit button with javascript or use it as an <input>.

Hi

<input onClick="document.myTicketForm.submit();" type="image" src=""/>

That is pointless. The [tt]image[/tt] button's default behavior is to submit. No need for the JavaScript code.

But anyway, all three codes you posted are correct and works for me.
