HTML - Launching A Form
I need to to launch a form from clicking on a button. How do I do that?
I have a form working that emails the contents of the form. Also, is there anyway to pass the id or the name of the button that launched the form. Thanks!! Similar TutorialsI'm using a php video-sharing site script where you would make a purchase to view a video. The code below is from the html search results page, where a list of thumbnails appears when you search certain keywords. Currently when you select the thumbnail, to view the video, prior to paying, a page pops-up in a pop-up box(inner_purchase.htm page) showing a message. I asked someone (JG) to help me change it to just a pop-up message box to appear, rather than the inner_purchase page, and he added code below called Custom Message Block, but the inner_purchase page still appears, instead of the Custom Message Block. Can you help me figure out how I can make this so the Custom Message Block appears, rather than the inner_purchase page? Thanks. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

I tried coding a .HTA file but I got javascript errors etc when I tried to run it. All this stuff didnt work for me: Quote: var ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); ws.Exec("C:\\Program Files\\myprogram.exe"); In the end the best I could do was to have IE open a Windows Explorer window to my folder and put a file there saying "Double-Click-To-Install.exe" (I am shipping a DVD which autoruns index.html which has instructions etc on install options etc. I can't call directly my setup.exe from the autorun because there are many options the user can choose from.) ----- I forgot to mention that Firefox does not open a windows explorer window. How can I get this working as IE does ? This is what I use to open my window: (its attached to a button) Quote: onclick="parent.location='INSTALLER1'" Hi all, I'm trying to create a web application module that allows users to bookmark links to favourite applications on their client PCs. One of these applications I want them to be able to access is Outlook. Any ideas how this can be done using Javascript? What I hope to be able to do is to launch Outlook from an "a href" link. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! script completed, thx Hi all, I have a simple newsletter form, so just the email field and a submit, what I would like to do is to send this data to a larger subscriber form, so one that has name, email (with the data previously entered already added), list to subscribe to etc. Can this be done? Thanks I have a form with a number of elements. One of these elements is: <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-subscribe.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> Clicking on that element makes the form submit. But if I add a similar element: <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-butcc-subscribe.gif" border="0" name="submit2" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"> ...clicking on that also makes the form submit. So was wondering if anyone knew what the rules were for which elements make a form submit?

Hi guy, I tried to do some googling before i come to here. the problem is that i don't know what are the name or keyword for this, therefore i cannot find any relevant result. Let's say, i have many same html with different file name file filled with tables that i dont' want users to open and use it. Can i create another separate forms using html to fill in the blanks on the table cell maybe after i click submit button? Or it's easier to use VB to write a program and do the job? Please help. Hi, I have a tricky problem that you kind people might be able to solve. I want to put one set of forms inside another set of forms without them interfering with each other. At the moment, the form I've created inside the other form is not responding. The code, when simplified, looks something like this: <FORM (1)> <FORM (2)> </FORM> </FORM> Am I trying to do the impossible or is there a way to overcome this problem? Thanks! / Stefan So i want to Post and Get in the same form for reasons of keeping the URL looking clean. I need to pass a PHP array through to the next page, and I don't want random gibberish in the URL. So, I can just Post this, but this is for a search page, and it would be nice to Get their search query for the reasons of the advantage of Get over Post, and because it looks better in my opinion. Anyways. The thing I am posting takes no user input, and it is defined in the beginning of the page. The thing I want to Get is user defined in a textbox. So, I need the method of the Form to be Get, but is it possible to also Post something? Thanks, If i wasn't clear i'm sorry and i'll try to explain it better. Well here is what I'm trying to do: i want to create a form with numerous fields, once people fill in the information and click the submit button i want the information, along with the titles, to show up in a pop-up and in the pop-up have a copy button to copy everything. I'm having difficulties having it show up in a pop up message to copy. If there is a faster easier way to get the information I want suggestions are much appreciated. Thank You, Jae Hi, my friend wants me to link this CPA form from his webpage Code: http://adserve.internetgiveawaygroup.com/SplashPage.aspx?g=68e77f2cb58040f885d4263a1bd95604&c=2675&s=CD11452&se=07 The Cpa page asks you to enter your email address, my friends wants to be able to have that information entered on his page... and when you click submit... it will remember your email address on the landing page... does that make sense to anyone? Id love any help, i dont know how this cpa stuff works but this is what he wants Thx Matt I am trying to make a form for my website that is very basic.
