submit form variables using javascript

This page will set a few variables in a form. You can submit the form in the normal way, using the submit button, or by the special javascript cheating way, using the links.

There are several bits of DHTML at work here.

• A few form variables are submitted using the GET method.
• There is an event associated with the submit button.
• There are events associated with the links.
• There is a value being set in the function.
• The submit button is not the only way to submit this form. The javascript function can also submit it.

View the source of this page. You will see that a variable named form_variable_1 is being set to a value. Now look at the function. The function uses the document object model to give this variable a different value.

Submit the form using the button. Have a look at the URL in the location field of your browser. It has a bunch of variables tacked onto the end.
