I have a form that has an anchor styled as a button and I am trying to submit the form via javascript. I am able to send the form using an input tag or a button tag. The button comes the closest to matching the anchors style but I have not been able to get them to look the same. I would really like to use the anchor if I can, please help.
Code

require_once("../content/includes/validation.php");
?>

Edit: but to answer your question, you can't use:
Code <a href="javascript:document.getElementById('ContactForm').submit();" class="button" name="submit" id="submit">
you would have to do something like onClick='document.form[0].submit()'

Ok first off not sure what the point of posting my facebook was but ok.
secondly I have tried both the inline javascript link and the onclick function, neither work. |

| if you put the onclick attribute on the anchor, not the <a> tag, it will work. |

| Please explain (code example maybe) as I was under the impression that the <a> tag is an anchor. In fact I believe the 'a' stands for anchor. |

I meant the button tag, not anchor.
Anyways, as long as you're linking to the correct form, this WILL work:
<a href="#" onclick="document.forms[0].submit();">Submit</a> |

what does
<a href="#" onclick="alert(1);">Submit</a>
do?
If it doesn't alert anything, then there is some weird CSS or something that's blocking the event.
If it does alert 1, then you're not linking the form correctly.
Just play around with it in firebug and you'll figure it out. |

I've come across this before, the problem is the name of the button. You can not call it submit while using submit() as you are basically overriding the method. Change it to something like: <button id="formsubmit" class="button" name="formsubmit" value="submit" type="submit"> and it should work.
Edit: Pen testing new fetures.

Ok so I believe the javascript is working fine, and as it should. I think the problem is how I expected the php to pick up the submit.
Code if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
... Send email ...
}
I don't think the POST varable is being set to submit. Why is this and how can I fix my php to work with the way javascript submits the form? |

Try putting this before the if statement:
Code var_dump($_POST['submit']);die;
Then try again. If it shows you something like "NULL" then your post parameter wasn't set. If you have a value, then there was something wrong with your emailing function (such as trying to send emails without having an SMTP server). If you see nothing at all then you probably never even reached that point in the code and your problem is somewhere else.
By the way, your initial problem could have been related to the fact that Firefox no longer allows javascript to be executed through the URL by prefixing it with "javascript:".
