RE: [PHP] Link acting as a submit button

I just remembered (I'm not sure if it makes a difference) that I am using
frames on this page. Does this matter at all? Thanks.

Yes it matters tons with the javascript call.

Here is some info on it...however, these questions are now javascript
and not php...

1. make sure you pass in a valid page to your function.
2. make sure that you have a form that you are accessing.
3. make sure that when you access the form you are accessing the correct
frame page.

Example: when you set up the frames use the name attribute to assign
names to the frames...

so if you have a frame named frame1...then you can do this...

frame1.document.forms[0].action.value = where;
frame1.document.forms[0].submit;

I might be off on this a little but that should get you started in the
right direction.

Depends, are you trying access the form from a different frame?
