Swish as submit button

[mattmac24]

Ok i have swish 2.o and what i want is to be able to replace this button with the default ugly grey one used in forms. i think that i would need to edit the button in swish for this to work. just dont know how to.


So i want:

(form field)


(swish button acting as submit button)

You would have to use ActionScript (not sure if you're allowed to do that using Swish, but that's what's used to script Flash movies). I believe the code would look something like this:

getURL('javascript:document.forms[0].submit();');

<*****FORM>
<font color=blue><font size=4>Type in a URL, and hit Go!
<BR>
<INPUT name="the_url" type="text" value="http://www." size="50">
<br>
<br>
<INPUT type="button" value="Go!" onClick="window.location=this.form.the_url.value">
</FORM>

ok thats what i want, ill post again and see if it wants to show you...

<FORM>
<font color=blue><font size=4>Type in a URL, and hit Go!
<BR>
<INPUT name="the_url" type="text" value="http://www." size="50">
<br>
<br>
<INPUT type="button" value="Go!" onClick="window.location=this.form.the_url.value">
</FORM>


so how would i replace that button with a swish animation?


if it didnt show it just acts like a address bar with a go button...and i just added a bit of text up the top.

thanks lot

you would just embed the .swf file where your button would go.

This one will work but contains no info if the user doesn't have the plugin.

<embed src="file/yourfile.swf" height="xx" width="xx" border="0" bgcolor="Background Colour">

Just change the parameters to fit your button. I don't think you need the background colour so if you want to get rid of it go ahead.

Why not just use a simple image as opposed to a flash animation??? The only reason to use a flash animation is if the page or site that they are viewing is predominatly flashed... Adding a flash animation will add un-needed download time if all you want it for is a button...

<INPUT TYPE="IMAGE" VALUE="Go!" BORDER="0" SRC="whatever.gif" ALT="image" onClick="window.location=this.form.the_url.value">
