Note, in that case, you won't be taking advantage of any of the built-in form processing, such as input validation and return/display of form errors. To get the validation, you could use the .validate_and_insert() method, but you'd still have to manually process and deal with the potential validation errors returned. If you want a regular form submission and the usual form processing but simply want to submit without a submit button, maybe just use something like jQuery .submit(): http://api.jquery.com/submit/ Anthony On Saturday, July 2, 2011 6:44:04 AM UTC-4, dorasan wrote:
