How to submit form without submit button?

Question

Chris Anderson · Answer

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.
