submit button??

Can I submit a form with a submit button that is NOT located on the form?

I have tried to do this by putting the button on the page and using the following: action="document.form1.submit()"

However, I get an error that says "call to undefined function"

For various reasons (which are hard to explain), I do not want the button on the form.

you could just enclose your entire page code within your form tags, ie:
<body><form....>

[ page code ]

</form></body>

that would give you the freedom to put the submit button where ever you wanted. I can't see what could be gained by trying to accomplish what you mentioned above

Please be carefull at that JavaScript syntax. Be sure that you have <form name="form1" action....>

this is Javascript issue !
anyway, I think you could do this by using a normal bottun any where in your page and add an OnClick event with javascript's function submit()
something like that :

Code:

<input type="button" name="submit" value="Submit" onClick="formname.submit();" />

but I am not sure, tho ..
