need some newbie help...

Hi fellow web developers!

I have a little problem due to my lack of javascript / web developing
skills...

Basically I have a form embedded in a table. WHat I would like to do,
is have the form be submitted when I click on a href link. Currently
it appears that the page reloads - but nothing actually is submitted.

here is a demo code,,, is it something in the head?

<html>
<head>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
function submitCode()
{
document.ApplyCode.submit();
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>

<table>
<tr>
<td>
<form action="thisPage.jsp" name="SubmitCode"
method="post">
Code:
<input type="text" name="Code" />
<!-- this is the line that doesnt work right -->
<a href="thisPage.jsp"
onClick="javascript: submitCode()">
Click Me
</a>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>
</html>

You must stop the HTML link
(with return false;)

E.G. :

<a href="page.htm"
onclick="alert(this.href); return false;">href</a>
page's code :
-------------

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitCode()
{
document.SubmitCode.submit();
return false;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<form action="thisPage.jsp" name="SubmitCode"
method="post">
Code:
<input type="text" name="Code" />
<!-- this is the line that doesnt work right -->
<a href="thisPage.jsp"
onclick="return submitCode()">
Click Me
</a>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

You should learn HTML before you make an attempt at Web programming.
