This proves it even more as a non Twitter Bootstrap issue, it is very basic html.
<off-topic> In exchange for my answer, I'd appreciate you send me a list of all questions you encounter or you wished you understood earlier. I am writing a fork-me-on-github site that address things that to help learn html+css+javascript basics. http://htmlcsstherightway.org/ Contributions from other readers are welcome. Post them there: https://github.com/renoirb/htmlcsstherightway/issues?milestone=1 please :) </off-topic> About your question. It is quite easy actually. It seems you are missing a form tag. I assume you do not have one enclosing in any other level of html containing what you pasted in your email. What I recommend you is to always try something WITHOUT javascript before. Basic things should always work without it, then, whipped cream kicks in. We call that Progressive enhancement. Then, your form to work MUST hae a <form> tag with at least two attributes: action, method. One to say "where" to post to One to say "how" (get is also possible, it transforms in the address bar with ?name=value&name=value) But, please, do not use get in a form. Because valid html requires some characters to be converted (javscript's URLencode, PHP htmlentities). Consier it doesn't exist!! For the sake of the next person to work with your code All is described here: http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/Meta:HTML/Elements/form Now, applied to your need: ---------- page.html --------------- <form action="_insert.php" method="post"> <!-- form input with naming scheme here. Note that <button> tag are not input that sends data their default behavior is only as submit the form equal to an <input type=submit value=}Yo /> --> </form> Then on _insert.php, first line, execute this <?php Var_dump($_POST); exit; You can see a full example of valid html in this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/renoirb/PVHwZ/embedded/result/ Last words: - button are like input submit, to have multiple choice looking like buttons, you need to trigger a hidden radio/checkbox input - never stop reading, if you never heard those letters, RTFM stands for "Read The *Fabuluous* Manual" - Good sources to learn: Smashing magazine, WebPlatforms, Mozilla Developer Network, .Net Magazine Hope it helped setting you on the right path. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "twitter-bootstrap" group.
