Is it possible to submit a form (instead of a hyperlink) through a menu selection? If so, can you provide a coding example? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick response Brad! I have an online form, and I'd like to add a vertical or horizontal menu wit "Save", "Exit", etc. Clicking on any of the menu items would submit the form (i.e., onsubmit(), like an html button.

Hello,
The form can be submitted from javascript function, like this:
function submitForm() {
document.myForm.submit();
}
Then you can execute that function when you click a button. To assign a javascript function to a button you need to put this in the URL box:
javascript:submitForm()
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Andrei Rinciog

Thank you. Can you tell me how to identify which menu selection was made before processing the submitted form?

Well, you can either use a different javascript function for each button or use send a paramter when you call the function. E.g. Button 1 can have:
javascript:submitFormButton1()
or
javascript:submitForm(button1)
The second method, using a parameter, would be a more clean solution.
Regards!
