Hiya Im trying to get my submit button to be a link rather than a button. Alot of buttons make a horrible mess of my site. Any feedback is appriciated.

I found it is possible with javascript but I need to put my own variables in there

PHP Code:

<form action="AddDirectory.php" method="post" name="the_form">

  <p>Region of Directory:

    <select name="Region">

      <option value="NorthWest">NorthWest</option>

      <option value="NorthEast">NorthEast</option>

      <option value="SouthWest">SouthWest</option>

      <option value="SouthEast">SouthEast</option>

      <option value="Central">Central</option>



    </select>

    <br>

    <br>

  Name Of Directory:

  <input name="Name" type="text">

  <a href="javascript:document.the_form.submit();">Submit</a>

</p>

</form> 

Above displays the Submit as a link which is great just what I need, but what if I want to put my own variable there such as $var instead of Submit tried all sorts and its giving me a headache.... can anyone do it? or is it just impossible?

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to simply print your variable in the right place?

<a href="javascript:document.the_form.submit();"><?ph p print $var; ?></a>

Is it just me, or are all you really asking is how to change the word 'Submit' to another word?

yes, you can substitute the submit button with html links. the most simple way to do this is by using get method which value for each variable is taken from the form.

or just add:

Code:

<input type="input" value="Submit">

where you want it to be
