Sending Form field Via Href

[Crash1hd]

Is it possible to submit a form field for example
<input name='user' value='you'>

in a link like so

<a href="/login.asp">Click here to login</a>

If so how?

I know how with a button I was just wondering if it had to be a button or if a link would work?

[Spudhead]

<a href="javascript:document.myform.submit()">Click here to submit form</a>

[Crash1hd]

So Would I have to use a form like <form><input name='user' value='you'></form>

or can I just have the <input name='user' value='you'>

and when you say myform is that the name of the form??

Yes...It's the form's name. Anytime you name a tag, you can then call on it or display it by name. :D
<form name="bob" action="mailto:me@yahoo.com" method="post">
<input type="text" name="Email">
</form>
<a href="javascript:this.bob.submit();">Submit</a>

[Crash1hd]

can I make this work with onClick?

IE

<a href="page.asp" onClick="javascript:this.bob.submit();">Submit</a>

I am trying to make this work from an email?? any thoughts!

useing asp for the submitting to email?

[zoobie]

Well, you'll get the same results using:
<a href="#" onClick="this.bob.submit();">Submit</a> onClick is a javascript event.

From an email? To an email? Lot's of members here will just skip over a problem like yours if you don't explain exactly what you're trying to do in full. Then, post your problematic code underneath. :D

Lol! I transfered this to the asp section as I figured it had to do with that more so!
