Can you submit a form to a function?

[desdub]

Hi,

Is there any way to define a form's Action so that the form is handled by a javascript function within the page rather than an external link? I know the following doesn't work (and probably doesn't make sense) but it is kinda what I'm trying to achieve.

<form action="myFunction(document.myForm)" method=get/put? name="myForm">
blah blah blah
</form>

Thanks for looking

D.

Yes you can handle the form using the page's javascript.

Your form tag should say:

<form action="javascript:myFunction(...)">
... (form elements)
</form>

Alternatively you could just use
<form name="...">
</form>

without any ACTION attribute -- in this case just don't have a "submit" button as such, use a regular button (or a graphic) and have the action on that set to "javascript:myfunction()"

Thanks Tim,

I like the first option better 'cause it should also handle a RETURN key press.

Actually,

Tim, it didn't work.

But thanks Dave, what you said did work.

This was my first question to this forum and it wont be my last!

Thanks again.
