how to submit a HTML form

[ani.since1982]

hello all,

I want to submit an HTML form on clicking the 'Checkout' button in the 'ShoppingCart.aspx' page. How I can do it?

I have done the following coding for HTML form:-

 <form name="frmCart" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
                                                    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
                                                    <input type="hidden" value="admin@MUKI.com" name="business"> 
                                                    <input type="hidden" value="Black Color" name="on0">&nbsp;
                                                    <input type=hidden value="<%=Session["ItemNames"]%>" name="item_name" > 
                                                    <input type=hidden value="<%=Session["ItemNumbers"]%>" name=item_number >
                                                    <input type="hidden" value="<%=Session["TotalAmt"]%>" name="amount"> 
                                                    <input type="hidden" value="2" name="no_shipping">
                                                    <input type="hidden" value="admin@MUKI.com/Paymentdone.aspx" name="return">
                                                    <input type="hidden" value="admin@MUKI.com/Paymentcancel.aspx" name="cancel_return">
                                                    <input type='hidden' name='cn' value='Memo for your Reference:'> 
                                                    <input type='hidden' name='currency_code' value='USD'>
                                                    <input type='hidden' name='lc' value='US'> 
                                                    <input type='hidden' name='bn' value='PP-ShopCartBF'>
                                                    <input type='hidden' name='rm' value='POST'>
                                                </form>

The submit button must be between the <form> tags:

<form name="frmCart" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
    <input type="hidden" value="admin@MUKI.com" name="business"> 
    <input type="hidden" value="Black Color" name="on0">
    <input type=hidden value="<%=Session["ItemNames"]%>" name="item_name" > 
    <input type=hidden value="<%=Session["ItemNumbers"]%>" name=item_number >
    <input type="hidden" value="<%=Session["TotalAmt"]%>" name="amount"> 
    <input type="hidden" value="2" name="no_shipping">
    <input type="hidden" value="admin@MUKI.com/Paymentdone.aspx" name="return">
    <input type="hidden" value="admin@MUKI.com/Paymentcancel.aspx" name="cancel_return">
    <input type='hidden' name='cn' value='Memo for your Reference:'> 
    <input type='hidden' name='currency_code' value='USD'>
    <input type='hidden' name='lc' value='US'> 
    <input type='hidden' name='bn' value='PP-ShopCartBF'>
    <input type='hidden' name='rm' value='POST'>
    <input type="submit" value="Checkout">
</form>

hi Philweber,

Is there need to give ID of 'CheckOut' button in the .aspx page as a 'CheckOut' because you also gave the value of submit type as 'CheckOut'?
exp:- <input type="submit" value="Checkout">

I have to perform some validation on the 'CheckOut' button in the .aspx page and after that this form should be submitted. Can it be possible by simply putting the above tag in the form?

thanks
