[rebbieboi]

---

i made a customized button in my html page "para nindot tan.awon" then when i learned php i now need to turn my link button to a submit one.. unsaon??.. tnx..

i tried this

"<div id = "position">
<p class="button"><a href="#null"></a><input type = "submit"></p>
</div>"

try daw ni:

you can remove the <a> tag, and add onClick="this.form.submit();" on <p>

cge2.. but is there a way an ma retain ang <a> kay ako xa g gamit for a certain html effect

[psyche54]

would it be much more simplier if you could do it this way?

<input type='button' class='myclass' onclick="this.form.submit();" />

or probably this:

<a href="#" onlclick="this.form.submit();"><span class="my-button-class">My Special button</span></a>

@psyche54

<a href="javascript:this.form.submit();"><span class="my-button-class">My Special button</span></a>

ako lang gi modify... dont forget the time when onclick is not yet used.... old-school kay ni siya nga implementation... this works similar to onclick event...

good point sad sir...

But there are cases when you let JS evaluate user inputs, and you need to return "false" value to the caller/function if user inputs does not conformed with what you require, I think the sample you have given sir would return a blank page...

But with form submission without any input evaluation and trapping, your example would do the trick...

But anyway, both are of the same essence...

if you want to validate the fields why not use onsubmit? or create a function that will cater the validation and submission...


function validation_function(){
if(field!=''){
// Submit form
document.getElementById('frm').submit();
}else{
// Return
return false;
}
}
<form id="frm" method="post" action"...." onsubmit="validation_function(); return false;"></form>

the return false on onsubmit prevents the form from submitting using the default submission event trigger... so the onlly way to submit is to call the submit() function of the form...

and btw, it will not return blank page.... it will go to the url stated on your action field on form...

hehehehe, that is what i meant sir pertaining to input validation...


>>>
<a href="javascript: some_functions();">Sample</a>

function some_functions() {
if(field!="mydesiredtext") {
alert("error"); return false;
} else {
document.myform.submit();
}
}
<<<

mao diay ni ako gipasabot sir nga mo return ug blank page...

pero it would be appropriate to use your sample in form validation...
