Hi,
Currently designing/building my first class/template driven site.
Inside a PHP form a list of article titles are displayed along with the
first two lines of the article. When the user clicks on the article title
the form with the list of article titles is replaced with the full text of
the article selected.
Since the article ID for the article title selected determines which article
will be displayed it would seems that if each title displayed (on the
article title list page) was actually a submit button. Of course I don't
want a list of gray submit boxes with titles lumbering down the page.
What I'd like to know is:
First, is it possible to assign a variable to a submit button. It seems like
it would be, but if someone has found a reason for not doing so I'd
appreciate hearing it.
Second, how do I change the image of the submit button so it appears as a
link (without the underline, of course). I've found a couple of tutorials in
regards to this issue, but they all had major typos and so far have not
gotten any of them to work. Any suggestions in this area will be of an
immense help.
Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi Richard,
To have a link act like a submit button do the following:
<a href="javascrip t:document.subm it()" style="text-decoration:none ">
My link
</a>
Buttons also have a variable associated with them and that is their name:
<input type="submit" name="myButton" value="Submit!" >
<input type="submit" name="myButton" value="Skip">
So, in the file where you are processing the form you can use it as a
regular POST (or GET) variable:
if ($_POST["myButton"] == "Submit!")
print "hello";
else if ($_POST["myButton"] == "Skip")
print "skipping";
I noticed that Message-ID: <kc************ *******@twister .socal.rr.com>
from Richard B. contained the following: Second, how do I change the image of the submit button so it appears as a link (without the underline, of course).

Why not make it a link, to the same page if needs be, and pass a
variable(or variables) in the URL? You can then style it with CSS how
you want.

Hey Everyone..
I have a form that has approximately 7 text fields and 1 checkbox.
Generally when this form is submitted(to itself BTW) it works fine,
however, when the checkbox is only field that has been
modified/clicked the form doesn't always submit. When it does work, a
Stored procedure is passed form variables and updates to the db are
made. When it doesn't, its as if the form wasn't submitted, it
reloads and resets the page, but...

Hi all.
I have a form, and several text and image links on it that should
submit the form with different actions.
I prepared a simple page with just the code that's not working.
PROBLEM: The form won't submit if the link is clicked, but will submit
if the SUBMIT button is clicked. I need to call a function to change
the form's action according to user's input before it is submitted.

this JavaScript wouldn't run when the button was designated as a

Hi again,
With much help, I've finally gotten the Tab key to be recognized when a
textbox is in focus, but now I'm having trouble with the up/down keys when
they're focused on a custom button (on KeyDown, when I ask to show keyCode,
nothing happens (except for Enter) so the focus goes to some textboxes that
should never receive focus).
I can think of 3 options, but don't know how to do any of them:
1) Say that these textboxes should...

Hi,
For a web page, I want a SUBMIT button that commits the form data and a
CANCEL button that goes to a different target (i.e. a different script).
I haven't figured out how to do this, because the <FORM ACTION="... tag
seems to make sure that any two submit controls in a form have to go to the
same target.
BTW, the CANCEL button does not have to submit any form data.

Hello folks,
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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
