HTML - Using Area Tags As Form Submit Buttons
I know this is probably a strange request but I'm trying to figure out how to use an area tag to define a form submit button (or the equivalent of that). Does anyone know if this can be done?
Similar TutorialsI would like to create 2 buttons for my form. The 1st button named "Submit Ads" would be a submit command and go to one page upon click. The second button named "Continue >>" would be a submit command and go to different page upon click. How can I do this? Your help would be greatly appreciated! Is it possible to define coordinates for the area in percentages of the image instead of pixels? For the map I want to use an image that resizes depending on the viewport resolution. Then pixel coordinates obviously don't work. Is it possible to get the initial value of a text area to be in any tags (like the italics tag for example)? Hello, I have an image which has a white area somewhere on the right side, but not exactly on right. I want to put addthis.com share buttons on this white area (please see attachment to see the image I'm talking about). When I use div align="right" I get them to be on far right which is not what I want. How can I achieve this using HTML? If not addthis.com code, is there any way of putting simple text or links on this white portion? I donot want to use css to do this as I'm on joomla and using css for this little work conflicts with the main css of the joomla template. Please help me. This thing has been driving me crazy for days!!! Thanks, Hi, this seems simple to me but i cant do it! the buttons do work but when i combine them on the same text area they dont work! heres what i have put together so far, Select all form: <form name="select_all"> <textarea name="text_area" rows="2" cols="80">TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT</a> </textarea><br /> <input type="button" value="select all" onClick="javascript:this.form.text_area.focus();this.form.text_area.select();"> </form><br /> Copy Text area: <textarea cols=85 rows=20 id='testText'>TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT</textarea><br> <button onclick='copyToClipboard(document.getElementById("testText").value);'>Copy To Clipboard</button> Copy javascript: <script type='text/javascript'> function copyToClipboard(s) { if( window.clipboardData && clipboardData.setData ) { clipboardData.setData("Text", s); } else { // You have to sign the code to enable this or allow the action in about:config by changing user_pref("signed.applets.codebase_principal_support", true); netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege('UniversalXPConnect'); var clip = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/widget/clipboard;[[[[1]]]]'].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIClipboard); if (!clip) return; // create a transferable var trans = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/widget/transferable;[[[[1]]]]'].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsITransferable); if (!trans) return; // specify the data we wish to handle. Plaintext in this case. trans.addDataFlavor('text/unicode'); // To get the data from the transferable we need two new objects var str = new Object(); var len = new Object(); var str = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/supports-string;[[[[1]]]]"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsISupportsString); var copytext=meintext; str.data=copytext; trans.setTransferData("text/unicode",str,copytext.length*[[[[2]]]]); var clipid=Components.interfaces.nsIClipboard; if (!clip) return false; clip.setData(trans,null,clipid.kGlobalClipboard); } } </script> Any sugestions?

Hello, I am trying to create a form so that member can submit a file to our Yahoo! Group. However, I cannot get it to work. Perhaps that this is not even possible? I have an html file that can click on and after they have filled out the form, they would click "submit" and it would post that file into out Yahoo! Group file section. If this isn't possible, is there a way to have it bring up a page with all the information on it after they submitted it so they can just copy and paste? Thanks, DarkEdward Hi all! I have a table created using php getting information from a MySQL database. No problems there. The problem is that I want to put a form submit button near each of the table rows. Now. the logical thing to do would be to add a column to the table and put a submit button in each row. The only problem is that I want there to be a border only around the original table and not over the submit buttons. How do I go about doing that? Thanks in advance, dirk_gently I have a JSP with HTML and Javascript in it. There're 2 image buttons and 1 Submit button, for some reason ALL buttons submit (when I click any of the image buttons, it works fine but submits too). I'm kinda new to HTML and JS so i need to know where did I go wrong Code: <form action="Req_Result" method="post" name="entry" onSubmit="return validate(this)"> <table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="10"> <tr> <td> <table> <tr> <td><INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="searchBy" checked="checked" value="byname" onclick="sortby()"> By Name</td> </tr> <tr> <td><INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="searchBy" value="byDate" onclick="sortby()"> By Date</td> </tr> <tr> <td><INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="searchType" checked="checked" value="whole" onClick="chMd()"> By Department</td> </tr> <tr> <td><INPUT TYPE="RADIO" NAME="searchType" value="byid" onClick="chMd()"> By ID</td> <td><input name="ps" type="text" size="18" disabled="disabled"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Start Date:</td> <td><input name="startdate" id="startdate" type="text" size="18" readonly> <input type="image" src="theme/panelCalendarIcon.gif" value="date1" onClick="SelectDate()" ></td> </tr> <tr> <td>End Date:</td> <td><input name="enddate" id="enddate" type="text" size="18" readonly> <input type="image" src="theme/panelCalendarIcon.gif" value="date2" onClick="SelectDate()" ></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Submit"></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </form> I've got a quick question. I've got a page with about 6-8 forms on it. Several of the forms are nearly identical, as they accept an ID number, or a selection made from a pop-up option list. What I want to do is collapse the identical forms into a single data entry area and then have several different submit buttons which have different values, then use the value of the submit button to determine what action to perform for the form. My question is... is this a proper use of the type=submit input element, or am I better off keeping the forms separate. All the forms call the same PHP script (itself) to perform the action. I'll be trying it out, but I don't want to waste time redesigning the page if what I'm trying to do will not work. Thanks. hey so i have a template which is just a picture and I want the person to be able to click it (but they would in reality just be clicking the invisible button) while it's the background of my site. It allows the person to enter <form name="input" action="http://www.google.com" method="get"> <input type="submit" value="Enter"> </form> if I make the value nothing (or a space), it doesnt dissapear, it just shows a blank button Is it possible to trigger the action of a form with a submit button that's outside the form tags? If so, how should this example be rescripted to make the input tag work outside the form tags? [/code] <html> <body> <form name="input" action="html_form_action.asp" method="get"> First name: <input type="text" name="FirstName" value="Mickey" /><br /> Last name: <input type="text" name="LastName" value="Mouse" /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </body> </html> [/code] Why is it that my button on IE looks like crap, with blurry corners and sadly rounded edges... http://unreal-deals.com/temp/ie-submitbutton.html But this guy's button in IE looks just perfect, with no blurry corners and sharp square edges? http://www.splittestaccelerator.com/1/?cnotes*18059868 I'm a relative novice to HTML and CSS trying to earn some extra cash doing freelance web designing. With the project I'm working on now, my client has pointed out that in IE 6 and 7, the Submit and Reset buttons of the Contact page are not working. The thing is, they actually are working, it's just that the rollover area for some reason has been reduced to just the bottom edge of the button. Here's the url I test off so you can see what I mean: http://www.animationpolitik.com/newDMsite/contact.html The buttons work just fine in Firefox and IE8. However if you go into either IE6 or 7 you'll notice that the interior yellow highlight of the Submit and Reset buttons only lights if you carefully roll over the bottom edges of the buttons. They'll work if you hit them at those exact locations, but if you mouse over the center of the buttons and click, nothing happens, which apparently is confusing a lot of my client's customers. It's strange because these are just the default buttons that are created when using the <form> tag; there's no styling on them whatsoever. The table I have them nested in reads like this: <form method="post" action="contact_retrieval.php" target="_top"> ... <table class="comments" border="0"> <tr> <td height="18" colspan="2">Additional comments/questions:<br /> <textarea rows="7" cols="55" wrap="physical" name="comments"> </textarea> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="87" height="18"><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit"></td> <td width="393"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="reset"></td> </tr> </table> </form> I've been searching the issue for the past several hours and have tried everything from moving the buttons outside the table to relocating them outside the <form></form> tags, but nothing woks. Any idea what could be causing this madness? Any help with this situation would be greatly appreciated! Hi I have a php form on the contact section of my website. It has a Name, Email and Message Box My Problem is in the message box i have made it quite large so they can type in what they need. But the blinking line to show where the start of the text is is in the centre of the box. How can I align this to the top left? Many Thanks <form class="contact" method="post" action="mail.php#contact" /> Hi there - I am building a simple website that uses a little CSS just for design, but the content is all basically in html. Anyways, I have no problem with the pages ('Contact' and 'Checkout') that contain form tags. Some of the problems: -the text after the tag isn't the same color or size (maybe even font?) after <form...> -due to the problem above, the spacing is all messed up -on the checkout page, the spacing above the google checkout link (in ie6/7) -in ie, the bottom of the page is spaced over 4 pixels Can anyone point me in the right direction? Also, is there a way to 'scale' the page depending on browser, computer, resolution, etc...? Thanks in advance for the help guys. I have 4 <form> enclosures on one HTML page, however only the first one works. Is there a technique for using multiple ones?
