My suggestion is for an Anchor like tag that allows you to do a post instead of a get. This would help imensely in Session and Hidden field transmission and the other hundred times that a form is not really practice or it would mess up the look and feel. Secondly in HTML 4.0 currently forms render space in the Current browser engines making look and feel difficult to produce to a given spec and sometimes impossible. If you put a form into a table with images that are supposed to be part of one bigger image it is about impossible to get browsers to diplay the images without adding space for the form. This is also true when trying to use a form across multiple cells, some broswers will let you and some won't. This would cure the problem by making it part of an anchor tag and a link instead of a form. Something like the following would work well <A HREF="http://www.w3c.org" METHOD="post"> <IMG SRC="http://www.w3c.org/images/image1.gif"> <PARAMETER NAME="field1" VALUE="value1"> <PARAMETER NAME="field3" VALUE="value2"> </A> This would post field1 and field2 to www.w3c.org. This may not be the perfect implementation but it would help from a developing standpoint immensely Thanks Luther Andal Avnet Inc. Web Application Programmer
