Re: [PHP] Link acting as a submit button

I am trying to create a submit button out of a hyperlink using the
following
code:
(this is in a file called index.html)
A href=javascript:go_where_my_variable_says('this.php');this
page/a
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript
!--
function go_where_my_variable_says(where)
{
document.forms[0].action = where;
document.forms[0].submit();
}
//--
/SCRIPT
This works fine as an html document, however, when I try to echo the
same code
out in a PHP page, it gives me javascript errors. I am using the
following to
echo it out in PHP:
echo
A href=\javascript:go_where_my_variable_says('this.php');\this
page/a
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\JavaScript\
!--
function go_where_my_variable_says(where)
{
document.forms[0].action = where;
document.forms[0].submit();
}
//--
/SCRIPT
;
No need to echo out the statement, better to use this method so you
dont have to escape each and every existing:
// leave php to output html ?
A href=javascript:go_where_my_variable_says('this.php');this
page/a
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript
!--
function go_where_my_variable_says(where)
{
document.forms[0].action = where;
document.forms[0].submit();
}
//--
/SCRIPT
?php // now back in php mode
This displays the link fine for the submit hyperlink, but it gives the
javascript error:
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method.
Code: 0
Like I said before, this code works perfectly fine if I have it an html
document.
Anyone got any ideas?
With that being said I dont see a php problem here.

RE: [PHP] Link acting as a submit button
I have tried this method as well, but I still seem to get the same error. I
have the form tag put in there and everything, with this bit of script inside
the tags, but still no luck. Is there an easier way to accomplish what I want
to do? Please let me know if there is. Thanks.

When you converted it to PHP did you include the form tags? I received a
similar error until I added the form tags. Other than that, try adding a
name value to the form and change 'document.forms[0].action = where;' to
'document.form_name.action = where;'
Except for the fact that I don't have this.php, it appeared to work for me
after the addition of the form tags as posted.
