Re: Make submit look like a text link

Would it be better if you used a real link, with a javascripted action,
itself created by Javascript, and put your button that looks like a link
inside a <NOSCRIPT></NOSCRIPT> pair?

So the javascripted link would appear if you have javascript enabled,
but if Javascript were disabled then you'd get your facsimile.

Ok, there is the pathological case where the javascript link appears,
and then the user turns Javascript off, but now we're talking about a
truly minuscule proportion of users.

I use such a technique in pages built by CGI scripts. It's an absolute
nightmare getting the single/double quotes correct, from a scripted
language that has its own convention for quotes. But once you have it
working, it runs just fine.
