- You don't have a name defined in your <.form>
- Don't think you need this.document... only document.formname.submit();

Just some guesses, if it don't help, I'll look it up.

Onderwerp: How to make submit buttons work in text format



Hello, 
I have multiple search forms on one page. They all work perfectly, but 
ONLY when the return key is hit....
I have them set up for TEXT as the submit buttons with a bit of 
javascript.

Here is an example of the onClick I found that doesn't seem to work:

<FORM method=GET action="http://www.google.com/search">
<A HREF="http://www.google.com/"><IMG SRC="images/google.gif" border="0" 
ALT="Google" align="absmiddle"></A><br>
<input type="hidden" value="btnG">
<INPUT TYPE=text name=q size=15 maxlength=255 value=""><a 
href="http://www.google.com/search" 
onClick="this.document.form_name_here.submit();"><font 
color="#990000"><b>.: Search :.</b></a>
</FORM>

The problem is that pressing the text only works part way...the browser 
goes to the page but no results show. The ordinary google button has a 
name="btnG" tag in it but I wasn't quite sure where that would 
go....doesn't work if substituted in form_name_here.
Google code is available on the web if you want to check for accuracy...

thanks
