Form Post Method without the Send button

[amitabh]

Is there any to send data through POST method if I do not use the Submit button. I need to use image in place of the Send button.

<form name="frmTest" method="POST" action="path/to/whatever.cgi">
  <input type="text" name="txtTest" value="Hello"/>
  <input type="image" src="image1.gif"/>
</form>

the image input becomes the submit button.

I would've just...

<div onclick="document.myForm.submit;"><img></div>

'Course, the div may be optional. You might be able to just put the onclick event on the img tag. And I really would put the submit in a function and call the function, but you get the idea.

Just out of curiousity...

why go through all of that if there is a simple, one-line way to do it built in?

Thanks
crptcblade, are you into XML these days. Your syntax seems to be somewhat similar to what I know of XML.

Yeah, I used XML for a while, so I just got used to closing single tags. That way, if I needed to make a style sheet out of existing HTML, I don't need to go back and put them in anyway.
