mateenmohd · June 30th, 2004, 06:01 AM

I use the image hyperlink

<FORM name="SearchForm" method="post" action="http://localhost/oracle/default.htm">
<P>

<INPUT name=search id=search ><A href="javascript:document.SearchForm.submit()"><im g src="http://localhost/oracle/Search_.gif"></A>

above linke don't display the htm page.

when I use
<FORM name="SearchForm" method="post" action="http://localhost/oracle/default.asp"> then it display the
default.asp page

how can use java script that it also display the htm page ?

regards.

You cannot use html page as action, because .html are static pages.

To acheive the stated task, you have to use

<a href="http://localhost/oracle/default.htm">Default.asp</a>

Hi Mateen,

It shouldn't matter whether the action attribute contains an htm / asp or other kind of page.

Out of interest, is there a reason why you can't use:

Code:

<input type="image" src="http://localhost/oracle/Search_.gif" />

in place of

Code:

<A href="javascript:document.SearchForm.submit()"><img src="http://localhost/oracle/Search_.gif"></A>

Best regards,

Chris

Submiting need Script & href doesnt accept script.
to submit ur Form using a <A> u should call submit it in OnClick of ur Image like:

Code:

<INPUT name=search id=search ><A href="void(0)" OnClick="document.SearchForm.submit();"><img src="http://localhost/oracle/Search_.gif"></A>

INSTEAD of:

Code:

<INPUT name=search id=search ><A href="javascript:document.SearchForm.submit()"><img src="http://localhost/oracle/Search_.gif"></A>

Hey somebody correct me if im wrong! (I didnt check it myself)

Melvik,

I believe that either method would work.

However, I'm in agreement with Chris. His method would probably be the easiest.

Also, I'm seeing some missing closing form tags.... :-) (</form>)

HTH,

Just a Query:
What is the use of setting action as HTM page..

Like this one below:

<FORM name="SearchForm" method="post" action="http://localhost/oracle/default.htm">

om_prakash:

It is possible to have a server parse .htm/.html pages with certain settings.

For instance, using Apache's AddType statement you can parse HTML with PHP.

AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

HTH,
