can form.submit() submit another form? - ASP / Active Server Pages

Matt

Can form.submit() submit another form? In the following example, in
page1.asp, it is fine to submit the current form: form1.submit(), and and I
could see the value "Joe" in page2.asp. However, if I do: form3.submit(),
then it couldn't go to page2.asp. Any ideas?? Thanks!!

//page1.asp
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body onload="form1.s ubmit()"> //OK!

<form name="form1" action="page2.a sp" method="post">
<P><input type="text" name="fname" value="Joe">
</form>
</html>

//page2.asp
<%= Request.Form("f name") %>

//page3.asp
<form name="form3" action="form2.a sp" method="post">
<P><input type="text" name="fname" value="Joe">
</form>

Right. You cannot submit form3 from page1.asp. You submit the form from
the page you are on. Even if you call a form on an open page, you are
submitting from that page.

If page3.asp was a popup and had a handle of page3, then you could call for
the form to submit from page1.
page3.document. form3.submit()

Submit form to new window

How does one go about submitting a form with a link - but submitting it to a new window AND to a page different to that described within the action="" option of the <form> tag? Say, for example, I have a simple form such as the following: <form method="POST" action="submit.php" name="AForm"> Name: <input type="text" name="Name" length="20"><br> Age: 15 <a href="age.php">change age</a><br> <input type="submit" name="submit"...

Submit form

by: CJM | last post by:

Can somebody clarify if/how/when a simple form is submitted when the <Enter> key is pressed? As I understood it, if you have a form with a single submit button, if enter is pressed, the form should be submitted as if the button is pressed. Is this correct? Does this behaviour vary across browsers? Chris
