I think I probably know that answer, but I will ask anyway.
Is it possible to submit a form using a standard anchor link, rather
than a submit button?
The reason I ask is that I have a standard form, but I want links to
enable to user to add additional data for each section if they desire.
In order for what they have already typed in to be preserved, I need to
submit the form data when one of these links is clicked. This is fairly
straightforward in Javascript, but I want to add non JS support too.
I suspect this is not possible, so I will have to think of another
design in this case, but thought I would check. And before you ask, no
it is not possible to put all the information on the one form, and it
would be highly redundant in most cases to present it as a straight
series of forms :-(
Thanks

Using Javascript.

Try reorganizing your form. Each section is a separate page. If a
section might be inapplicable, you can have two buttons: Submit and Skip
This Section.
Another option is to load all form on one page, but hide some of it's
part that are redundant to most users. Having links like "customize
section ``C''" just showing hidden portions of the form. Such solution
is faster for a user, but if you want you site to work without
javascript to than it's not an option.
Maybe you can have buttons to look like links and do the work you want.

No - unless you use scripting.
Easiest fix is to keep the standard form submission, but use CSS to
style the submit to look however you want - such as like a simple link. li************@ hotmail.com wrote:

Dear sir,
You can either end up using scripting such as JavaScript to
automatically make the extra sections appear by clicking the link, and
changing the link to make it submit, or you can make yourself
completely rewrite the page dynamically with a server-side language.
The first method is the easiest, although it might not work with
everyone's browser.
I have the honor to remain your most humble and Ob't Sv't in our war
against the King.

calls some javascript which sets values in hidden fields then posts to

Ive added anchors to each button but if i add a the anchor tag to the

problem is to find "linker" vertexes that a pair of verteces from a
pre-defined set. For example, if the graph verteces represent cities

Hi,
I have experienced problems when dealing with nested anchors.
I implemented some code to perform highlighting and specific anchors
are used for the searched words. The problem is when the searched words
are inside <a href> tags, the links are lost after putting my anchors.
For example:
<a class="Programa" href="#" OnClick="window.open('/something.tif');"

Hi,
I have a custom form that works fine when I debug it or run it in release

the designer when no control is on it, but the resizing tool (in the
designer) is offset both horizontally and vertically and when I put a
control on it, as soon as I save, the designer throws an exception (but
cannot be reproduced everytime) and the form cannot be loaded anymore unless...

Rather than ask a question, I'm going to offer something here which
you may find useful. If you're like me, you want the end-user to know
that data is being loaded from the server. The javascript function
below adds a simple cursor change to href for the callback which
initiates the server-side TreeNodePopulate event. Unfortunately, it's
not perfect. You have to have a rough estimate as to how long the
method call will take (I chose 4...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
