Hello
for some reason the below tag is not working yet if I use the same link in just a text link form it works?

<FORM METHOD=LINK ACTION=message.php?id=$id><INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE=Message></FORM>


but
<a href=message.php?id=$id>test</a>
works can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong in the first tag above

thanks

try:
<form method='post' action='message.php'>
<input type='hidden' name='id' value=$id>
<!-- edit this next line to however you would like to display the actual link -->
<input type=image type='submit' value='submit' src='your_submit_image.gif' border=0 alt='Go!'>
</form>

Is this what you are looking for?

Hello,

Thank you
what I am looking to do is just have the button function as a regular link so when the person clicks the button they will go to that page I specified.
