Links not working???

[john6]

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

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

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

<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.
