Replace with:

</script>
Use script to write this link, because if Javascript support is unavailable
or turned off then the link wouldn't work anyway. In that case, it's replace
below, inside a NOSCRIPT element, by the Submit button that you're trying to
avoid.
Pick one from drop-down menu:
<p>
<form>
Replace with:
<form id="myForm" action="pagetwo .php" method="get">

Insert:

Isn't there a way to do it without javascript?

That doesn't do what he wanted to do. He wants a link outside of the

I can't understand the difference between the solution you proposed :
----
<form id="myForm" action="pagetwo .php" method="get">
....
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write ('<a
onclick="docume nt.forms['myForm'].submit();"><im g src="smiley.gif "></a>');

<noscript>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">

And this other one :

No, wait--I *was* right; when I wrote the above, I wasn't remembering
part of my original reasoning. Part of what he wanted (at least, as I
understood it) was to have the link outside of the form. The code I
provided wasn't meant to be inserted into the form, it was meant to
replace the link the OP was trying to use, in the same position.

Use script to write this link, because if Javascript support is
unavailable or turned off then the link wouldn't work anyway. In that
case, it's replace below, inside a NOSCRIPT element, by the Submit
button that you're trying to avoid.
This is not the best authoring practices. What if js is enabled but the
code contains an error? Neither the js submit nor the <noscript> submit
button will be available.
Better solution: create a fully functioning <form>, and use js to modify
the dom, removing the <input type=submit> and adding a js submit mechanism.
But then, the best solution for the op is to KISS, and use a normal form.

When the form Submit button is clicked, I then need the input data either
