Hi. How would you make a normal a href link be a submit button in a form?

EDIT: or a submit button as an image or text?

i dont think thats quite what i want...

What i need is:

An image, in a form, to act as the submit button.

that's for your first part.. the image buttons.. are standard html.. form images.. I believe a search engine will find that information for you.

and if you want jsut a text link to submit, you can do

Code: Select all

<a href="#" onclick="javascript:document.formname.submit();">Submit</a>

To use an image as a submit button:

Code: Select all

&lt;input type=image src="okay.gif" name="Okay"&gt;
The submission sends two $_POST (or $_GET) vars: Okay_x and Okay_y which indicate the coordinates within the image at which the button was clicked, so you need to check for the button like:

Code: Select all

<?php
if (isset($_POST['Okay_x']))
?>
