I am using JS to replace my submit buttons with A tags w/ observers.
The reason for this is I want better looking buttons. When the A is
clicked it does some validation, and then "clicks" the hidden submit
button.
When JS "clicks" the button however they name/value is not getting
submitted along with the other form values in the _POST such as if a
person clicked a regular submit button. Do you know how to get this
to happen?
As an FYI, here is the code I am using:
$(form).select(''INPUT[type="submit"]'').each(function(b)
{
new_id = ''submit_btn_''+i;
// Turning off hide so you can test the difference
// input_button = b.hide();
input_button = b;
input_button.insert({after: ''<a class="button_dark
submit"
id="''+new_id+''" href="#"
onClick="this.blur();"><span>''+
input_button.value +''</span></a>''});
new_button = $(new_id);
// Can''t use click, because sometimes mouseup/down does not happen on
the same element, there is a span in there too.
new_button.observe(''mouseup'', function(e) {
e.stop();
// Do some validation
if (true) input_button.click();
});
i++;
});

Hi, We''ve started transitioning to a new, better-named, hopefully-spam- free group for Prototype and script.aculo.us: http://groups.google.com/group/prototype-scriptaculous/ prototype-scriptaculous-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFFw@public.gmane.org Could you please post your question there instead? Thanks! People might still answer here, but probably not for all that much longer... -- T.J.

Thanks I will ask there. I was wondering what was up with all this spam. The name of this list makes a lot more sense too. On Jul 15, 1:36 am, "T.J.
