Form Submissions Without Submit Buttons
|

When you want a form that can be submitted without requiring the rather prominent submit button, this article shows you how, with several methods:
1. Submitting a form with a regular link.
2. Submitting a form when a checkbox is checked.
3. Automatically submitting a form.
This article contains step-by-step instructions with code examples. I think you'll find it easy to follow.
The article assumes you already have a working form that is submitted to a CGI program in the conventional manner, with a submit button. When you see "/cgi-bin/script.cgi" in the examples, substitute the URL of your CGI program.
If you don't already have form and CGI program, consider Master Feedback from http://willmaster.com/a/23t/pl.pl?msmf to have the submitted information sent to you via email, or Master Form V3 from http://willmaster.com/a/23t/pl.pl?mfv3 for a program that can also store form information in a database on your server.
