Submit a HTML Form using a Hyperlink

A user asked me recently on the forums if it was possible to Submit an HTML form without the Submit button. She wanted to do it using a Hyperlink instead.

Well it is possible to submit the form using a hyperlink with a small amount of JavaScript code as shown here:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Submit A HTML Form using a Hyperlink</title>

<script type="text/javascript">
function frmSubmit() {
document.form1.submit();
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="somescript.pl" >
<div>
<a href="javascript:frmSubmit();">Submit</a>
</div>
</form>
</body>

That’s all you need!
