Multiple forms on one page

[Mandes]

Hi

I have an html page with multiple forms, I wish to use javascript to check the value of a dropbox (name=os0) and submit if the value is valid.

If I name the form 'myform' I can use this code

 
<A href="javascript: document.myform.submit();" onclick="if(document.myform.os0.value==56){alert('txt');return false};">Acheter</A>

However, I do not really want to name each form.

Is there a way of checking and submitting the forms without explicity naming them, I thought I could do this using something like

 
<A href="javascript: document.this.form.submit();" onclick="if(document.this.form.os0.value==56){alert('txt');return false};">Acheter</A>

But I'm having no luck.

Any help appreciated

Terry

You can refer to the parent form of a form element using the "form" property, for example:
<input type="button" onclick="this.form.submit();" value="click me" />

But if you are using the <a> tag, which is not a form element, you'll need a way to identify which form you want to work with, either by use of a name attribute or an id, or by using the form index (0,1,2 etc).

Arhh, I see, i'd foolishly assumed that because the <a> tag was inside the <form> </form> tags it would refer to that form above the others, I'll have another think, perhaps I'll change the <a> tag for an image and use input type='image' instead

Thanks for your input
