Form using links as input items

rmagan · Dec 15, 2003

I have a table that has only links as items. When the user hits the link, I want the form to submit and pass the value of the link to the stored procedure. Is this possible?

<HTML>
<FORM name="process_student_schedule2" action="stars3.star_portal.process_student_schedule" method="post">
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD align="center" nowrap><a href="javascript:void(document.post_grdbk.submit())">Submit Me - Value1</a></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD align="center" nowrap><a href="javascript:void(document.post_grdbk.submit())">Submit Me - Value2</a></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD align="center" nowrap><a href="javascript:void(document.post_grdbk.submit())">Submit Me - Value3</a></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</FORM>
</HTML>

no: a form will only transmit data from form elements.

what you can do is have the links change the value of a hidden form field, then submit.
