Links not working???

I have a table where by in each cell there is a form with a link that submits the form.

When I click the link however it does nothing!???

When I have only one form it works fine. But once I have 2 or more forms it doesn't work?

PS: I really do need to have a form for every link because I need to do a _POST on the links - and there's going to be many links as it's generated by PHP.

PHP Code:


		
			
<table >

<thead >

    <tr>

        <th>

            Heading 1

        </th>

    </tr>

</thead>

<tbody>

    <tr>

        <td>

            <form name="submitForm" action="mylink.php" method="post">

                <a href="javascript:document.submitForm.submit()">

                    First

                </a>

            </form>

        </td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

        <td>

            <form name="submitForm" action="mylink.php" method="post">

                <a href="javascript:document.submitForm.submit()">

                    Second

                </a>

            </form>

        </td>

    </tr>

</tbody>

</table>

forms do not have a 'name' attribute. They have an 'ID' attribute and id's a unique, can only be used once.

Your using javascript to submit the form

Code:

<a href="javascript:document.submitForm.submit()">

But you don't show your script. Why not just use the submit button?

Code:

<table >

<thead >

    <tr>

        <th>

            Heading 1

        </th>

    </tr>

</thead>

<tbody>

    <tr>

        <td>

            <form id="form1" action="mylink.php" method="post">

            <button type="submit" value="PUSH">Submit</button>First

            </form>

        </td>

    </tr>

    <tr>

        <td>

            <form id="form2" action="mylink.php" method="post">

            <button type="submit" value="PUSH">Submit</button>Second

            </form>

        </td>

    </tr>

</tbody>

</table>

Will activate mylink.php, but wont do anything beyond that.
