HTML - Submit Form Posting Problem - Please Help

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?

Cheers,
James

Hey, I'm making a small text based game for a project at school, i am having2 problems, one is that i don't want it to open another page to submit the info to the PHP database when i hit the spin button, i want it to send the data directly from this page without opening any others i have tried changing the target but i cant do it, I've highlighted it in red below, and two is that i want it to auto submit the data every 4-5 seconds intervals without the user clicking anything, i have tried many codes i still cant get it to work. Thanks =]

<form action="MyUrl" method="post" name="form1" target="hidden " id="form1">
<input name="bet" type="text" class="textbox" id="bet" value="1000">
<br>
<br>
<input name="spin" type="submit" class="custombutton" id="spin" value="Spin slots!">
</form>

I have a website and I know basic html. But I need to know to to make it so that when people fill out a form on my website and hit submit the information will pop up in an orderly fashion on another page. So the world can see what they have submited. If your wondering it has nothing to do with personal info its totaly different.

If you dont understand what im getting at then maybe ill say this. I want people to fill out a submit form and then hit submit then once they have done that i want that information they have submited to go on another seperate page on the site and be there permanently.

I am designing a site for avaition photos that I have taken. What I want to do is have people who have had pictures taken of their aircraft to find the pictures and discretley release them for publication.

The 'hard part' is taking the aircraft registry from a submit feild and returning an apropriate result. What I want to have happen is that if the user submits a registry that I have, they are presented with a page that they can fill out their information confirming that they are who they say they are and that the photo can be released. And if they are not in my list they get a 'sorry photo(s) not found'

The question is can I do this without ay scripting or a database? IE If the user has the registration, have it point to a 'submittedregistration.html' file?

Thanks for your help all!!

Hi,

I want to create a page that has a form designed to look like a form that members have to now fill out manually (eg registration for an event). When I design the html page with the form submit on it, how can I make the emailed form look like the html page that the user saw instead of just lines of data?

This is so people who recieve the form via email, it will look like the original form.

Thanks

Jaden

I would like to make simple submit form, so I made this one. But it doesn't want to work. What is wrong?

Code:

<form method="post" action="mailto:something@mymail.com" enctype="text/plain">
		
		<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
          <tr>
            <td width="37%">&nbsp;Mailing</td>
            <td width="63%">list</td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>&nbsp;Name</td>
            <td><input type=text name=Name size=8></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td>&nbsp;E-mail</td>
            <td><input type=text name=E-mail size=8></td>
          </tr>
          <tr>
            <td align="center"><input type=submit name=Sub value=Submit></td>
            <td align="center"><input type=reset name=reset value=Reset></td>
          </tr>
        </table>
		</form>

I have a job application page on my client's site that needs to be submited, sent to an email adress and then redirected to a 'thank you' page. The format and look of the page appears to be great, but when you hit the 'submit' button on the page, the error message "Method Not Allowed: The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /job.htm."
Apparently, this site's address was recently changed and the submission action was lost somewhere in transfer.

The code is below, but if anyone is willing to help, it would be greatly appreciated.

THANK YOU!

<FORM METHOD="POST"
ACTION="http://www....job.htm"><INPUT
TYPE="hidden" NAME="recipient" VALUE="email address">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" VALUE="Job Application info"><INPUT
TYPE="hidden" NAME="redirect"
VALUE="http://www.....thanks.htm">

I 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!

Hey all. I haven't designed a website in over 5 years and am extremely rusty. I'm trying to create a contact form and i have a question.

When i hit submit it opens up outlook and just fills in the too with the e-mail i choose and the body has the content of the form. I don't want it to do this. When i hit submit i want it to send the contents of the form to an e-mail of my choosing and then take you to another page that says "Thank You for your submission" or something along those lines.

Right now i have:

<form action="MAILTO:example@example.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain">

<h3>Please fill out the form below and someone will be in touch with you shortly.</h3>
Name:
<br/>
<input type="text" name="name"/>
<br/>
City:
<br/>
<input type="text" name="city"/>
<br/>
State:
<br/>
<input type="text" name="state"/>
<br/>
Zip Code:
<br/>
<input type="text" name="zip"/>
<br/>
Phone #:
<br/>
<input type="text" name="phone"/>
<br/>
E-Mail:
<br/>
<input type="text" name="email" />
<br/>
Comment:
<br/>
<textarea rows="10" cols="80" wrap="physical" name="comments">
</textarea>
<br/>
<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
<input type="reset" value="Reset">

</form>

What am i missing and how do i go about doing what i want? Thanks in advance!!

Hi there,

I'm hoping this is a pretty easy thing to do, and that it is me missing something. My password submit button on my html page will only work when the user clicks on submit and does not work when the user just presses "Enter".

How can I change this so that the user can submit the password by pressing "Enter"?

Here is my code:


Code:

<script language="javascript">

function pasuser(form) 
{
    if (form.pass.value=="password") 
            {
                location = "page2.html"
             } 
    else {
              alert("Invalid Password")
            }
} 

</script>


<form name="login">
       <input name="pass" type="password">
       <input type="button" value="Login" onClick="pasuser(this.form) ">
       <input type="Reset">
</form>

I have a simple form where the user enters his email address and clicks the 'Register (free!)' button.

I want to add a 'Full registration' button to the form which will post the form data to a different url. Does anyone know if/how this can be done?

Cheers,
James

Hey I tried googling this earlier but didn't find alot.

What i am trying to do is when someone visits my site they enter their username and a short message. I would like it to send to either a file located on my web site server, where it will store until I read it, or send an email in the background to me so I can read it later.

I had an example I tried to use, and it seemed to work, however it did not store the information into the file or email it to me.

If you have an example of this please reply. Thanks.

Hi,
I am a newbie using HTML to build a form in Sharepoint 2003 and I am not sure if this form is submitting properly.

The form looks good! However, the question is: Does the HTML code actually submit any of the data entered in the fields when I hit the Submit button?

Thanks for your help.
