I've developed an auto dealer site, but found that one of the links does not properly access the database of used cars. To make a long story short, I need to make a link to send post variables (NOT get variables) to a php script, without using images or submit buttons; only with a text-based link. Could that be done with HTML, or maybe, JavaScript?<!--content-->Let me dig up the code real quick...give me about two minutes...

EDIT:<br />
<form method=POST ACTION="where you want info submitted to"><br />
<td colspan="2"><br />
<input type="text" size="10" name="name of this variable" value"what appears in box of variable(may be left blank)"><br />
</td><br />
<br><br />
<br />
<td colspan="2"><br />
<input type="password" size="10" name="password" value="">(if no password needed you may remove this section)<br />
<tr><td></td><br><td align=left valign=top><br />
<input type=submit name=submit value=""><br />
</form><!--content-->would it not be easier to submit the form on clicking a link, or just use css to make it look as if the button was indeed a link?<!--content-->I mis-understood your question....LOL!...I don't know about that one...maybe there is a way to use what I posted to achieve this?<!--content-->And I liked dave....he was cool....*says good-bye to him*...when did he leave?...
<!--content-->I'll assume your form is set to post and it's name is myForm.<br />
<br />
<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"#" onclick="document.myForm.submit();return false;">Click to submit</a><!--content-->I'll assume your form is set to post and it's name is myForm. <br />

<a href=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"#" onclick="document.myForm.submit();return false;">Click to submit</a><br />
<br />
<br />
Ah, that's exactly what I was looking for. I knew there was a JavaScript function for that, but I forgot which it was, and I couldn't find it on google. I'm surprised by the prompt replies!<!--content-->i guess to be compatible with other browsers, you might want to use:document.forms['myForm'].submit()<!--content-->Also remember that not everybody has JavaScript enabled, so be sure to remember them:<br />
<br />
<form action="yourpage.php" method="post" name="frm"><br />
<div><input type="hidden" name="foo" value="bar" /><br />
<script type="text/javascript"><br />
