trigger form action with a text link

replacing paypal buttons

[stef25]

is it possible to trigger a form action using a text link? at the moment this only works with input type=image or input type=button

id like to replace the paypal buttons with a simple "buy now" ahref and/or some javascript

thanks,
stef

You can have multiple forms on the page, and code the formname differently for each one.

For an elegant solution, you can use

onClick="this.form.submit();"

since the element inside a form does know the form it is in.

If you're trying to create an alternative to a button, you can use a combination of

onClick

and css to emulate that on pretty much any html object. Check

style="cursor:pointer;"

to have the cursor change into the hand symbol when moving over the object.
