I prefer to do it using this function rather than submitting the entire form
to the action stated in the form tag. Mainly because I may have multiple
submits per pages submitting to various pages
function FunctionName() {
document.forms[0].action="SomeFile.cfm";
document.forms[0].method="Post";
document.forms[0].submit();
}
'forms[0]' will find the first instance of a form where as
'document.formname' will find whatever form you wish to submit.
then the link will need to state
<A HREF="javascript:FunctionName()">Link</A>
hope this helps,

Subject: Re: Submitting form with Javascript
Brett,
That's no problem. Add a hidden element to the form, with a name but no
value. Set the appropriate value in each of the onclick handlers. The
form's action page should then check the value of the hidden form
element.
<input type="hidden" name="submitType">
<a href="#"
onclick="document.myForm.submitType.value='A';document.myForm.submit();re
turn false;">Click to submit A</a>
<a href="#"
onclick="document.myForm.submitType.value='B';document.myForm.submit();re
turn false;">Click to submit B</a>
The action page can check the value of FORM.submitType and act
accordingly.
-David
