Problem with submit() and onSubmit...

[Boblevien]

I have a JavaScript function [checkForm] which checks that the first “n” fields of a form are not blank - gets called when the form is submitted:

<form action=&quot;cdonts/premail.asp&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; id=&quot;form1&quot; name=&quot;form1&quot; language=&quot;javascript&quot; onSubmit=&quot;return checkForm(2)&quot;>

But I find those Submit buttons a bit ugly so I want to use:

<A href=&quot;javascript:document.form1.submit();&quot;>post message<br></A>

It submits OK but it doesn’t trigger the checkForm – doesn’t seem to be the same submit.

Can anyone suggest a work around?

Bob.

Just write a function which does all your validation, then calls submit() at the end - and call this function from your link.

Also, in the code &quot;<A href=&quot;javascript:document.form1.submit();&quot;>post message<br></A>&quot; there shouldn't be a &quot;;&quot; after the link href. If you want to use an image to submit then do this:

<input type=&quot;image&quot; src=&quot;image-location.gif&quot;>
