HTML - Form Submit Actions?

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

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!!

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 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.

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 got a form from Response o Matic, then edited some of the HTML. I removed the link back to their website, but it deleted the Submit Button (at least when viewing in IE7 - its OK in Firefox). I put their link back, but the Submit button does not show!!

Any ideas, i really don't want to repeat the form as it took hours to space it all out how i wanted it.

Thanks

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!!

I have never had this error before until now, where I am trying to submit a jQuery validated form, yet my submit button won't work, I currently am not using the input type submit button, even when I do use it though I get the same error as using a <a> link that calls a javascript function to submit the form, I have a duplicate of this code and it works fine on another page, but just not here.

Here is my mess:
http://motb.isgreat.org/
It probably is easier to just check the whole source, since my code is scattered.
This website is targeted for WEBKIT BROWSERS ONLY!
To navigate to the issue on the page itself, press the gold login button on the RIGHT, and try submitting the form, I know the join form doesn't work, since I am not done with the page yet. But the login form should target to http://motb.isgreat.org/login.php which has a duplicate of my form but it works, im really confused, it may be with my JavaScript.

Any Help is appreciated.

I know my code is messy, my excuse is only being 15, but yeah… at least most of it functions

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.

Hey guys. This is my first post, so thanks in advance for any help I receive!

I'm having some problems with a form I've created. The form itself, when submitted, doesn't actually have to be sent to a server, as it is just for a school project. However, to my understanding when you submit a form, the information that is collected from the form is appended in a string to the url at the top.

My problem is that part of my form is not being sent. My code is below, the part of the form that is not being sent is the table that has the text boxes for date, item and quantity.

Thanks again in advance for any help!

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!
