Form submit from A tag with Netscape

[ddt_rock]

Hello, everyone!

I have a problem with Netscape.
I want to submit form from <A> tag

<form name="f1" method="post" action="TTT.htm">

<a href="javascript:document.f1.submit();">
Test
</a>
</form>

This code works fine in IE, but Netscape just ignores it.

WHo knows what is wrong with my code?

Thanks!

You have a problem with your code running on Netscape :)
Which Netscape, by the way?
I want to submit form from <A> tag
Why? The submit button is made for just that, and the user will
know what it means.
<form name="f1" method="post" action="TTT.htm">

<a href="javascript:document.f1.submit();">
<a href="whyThisPageRequiresJavascript.html"
onclick="document.forms['f1'].submit();return false;">
Test
</a>

Probably the reference to the form. Try the more explicit version here.
And don't use "javascript:"-URIs, the onclick attribute is much better.

Why not style the button with CSS, so that it will look like the typical
visual representation of a link? Or, dynamically write the link and
include a standard submit button in the "noscript" element?

How can I define CSS for a button, so it will look as a simple link?

I am using Netscape 4.78.

And your code is not working on it :(

I can not use buttons here because of the requirements I have :)

Anyway, thanks! :)

If you want something that looks like a link to submit a form, I
recommend something like:

<style type="text/css">
..submitLink {
background-color: transparent;
border: 0px solid transparent;
color: Blue;
text-decoration: underline;
cursor: pointer;
cursor: hand;
}
..submitLink:active {
border: 0px solid transparent;
color: Red;
}
}
</style>
<form>
<input type="submit" name="submitBtn" value="Order" class="submitLink"
/>

</form>

Certainly it isn't as pretty in Netscape 4 or Opera 6, but it's
guaranteed to give you a usable submit button regardless of the browser
being used (presuming the browser supports form and form submission).

By the way, Opera 7.23 is *still* having problems with this design. With
7.23, it now honors border requests on buttons, but it honors neither
the cursor: nor the text-decoration: directives. Also, Opera 7.23 seems
to support the :active pseudo-class, at least partially, it makes a
valiant attempt to honor the border: directive, but it fails to do it
correctly.
