[jQuery] Re: Way to designate links as form submitters?

[Carl Von Stetten]

Rick,

Try this (untested):

$(document).ready(function() {
    $.each(".formlink"), function() {
       $(this).click(function() {
          $("#supporttype").val($(this).attr("id");
          $("#supportform").submit();
       });
    });
});

<form id="supportform" name="supportform" method="post" 
action="yourscriptname.cgi">

<input type="hidden" id="supporttype" name="supporttype" />
<a class="formlink" id="Paid">Paid Support</a> or
<a class="formlink" id="Free">Free Support</a>

HTH,
Carl
