I am trying to create a submit button out of a hyperlink using the following code: (this is in a file called index.html) <A href="javascript:go_where_my_variable_says('this.php');">this page</a> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- function go_where_my_variable_says(where) { document.forms[0].action = where; document.forms[0].submit(); } //--> </SCRIPT> This works fine as an html document, however, when I try to echo the same code out in a PHP page, it gives me javascript errors. I am using the following to echo it out in PHP: echo " <A href=\"javascript:go_where_my_variable_says('this.php');\">this page</a> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\"> <!-- function go_where_my_variable_says(where) { document.forms[0].action = where; document.forms[0].submit(); } //--> </SCRIPT> "; This displays the link fine for the submit hyperlink, but it gives the javascript error: Error: Object doesn't support this property or method. Code: 0 Like I said before, this code works perfectly fine if I have it an html document. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, Matt
