With this method, you can cause a form to be submitted when the user clicks on a regular link, which can be a text link or an image link.

This requires two steps.

First step, the form

Give your form a name. This is done in the FORM tag itself:

<form
name="MyForm"
method="POST"
action="/cgi-bin/script.cgi">

Second step, the JavaScript

Create a link containing the submit command

<a href="javascript:document.MyForm.submit();">
Click to submit the form
</a>

Optional third step

You can remove the submit button or, to be kind to the few non-JavaScript browsers that visit your site, put it between NOSCRIPT tags:

<noscript>
<input type="submit" name="Click here">
</noscript>

The above will display the submit button only when non-JavaScript browsers visit the page.
