What do you mean "work like"?  What does submit do that link doesn't?  What kind of behavioral differences are you unhappy about?

I meen that it doesn't save data from form to objects.
For example :
I have method for action link and submit like that :

def processSend() = {
var parameters = new Parameters
parameters.initialSearch = initialSearch

WebControler.actionSearch(parameters)
}

and now the part of bind function:

bind("form", ns,
"maxResponses" -> SHtml.text(initialSearch.maxResponses,
initialSearch.maxResponses = _),
//"submit" -> SHtml.link("", () => processSend(), button))
"submit" -> SHtml.submit("Search", processSend))

And the problem is that when I use link then new data for
initialSearch are not saved. But with submit works good.

First of all please keep in mind that new members are moderated so
please have a little patience until you see your post.

If you want to submit a form by clicking a link from within the HTML
form that won't submit your form. It is an HTML behavior. However you
can have a form and an Ajax link so that when you click the link the
form is submitted via Ajax.

<a href="javascript:;" onclick={SHtml.submitAjaxForm("formId")}></a>

If you don't want Ajax, you can simply add the onclick event that
calls submit for a form.


Br's,

Sorry for the repetition of posts. And thanks for answer.
The last question how can I set form name, or form id when i use form
created in such way:

<lift:SearchForm.send form="POST" />

and binding start with bind("form", ns,

[Marius]

well if you want to use the approach below you can simply have in your
html:

<form id="ajaxy">
<lift:SearchForm>
// put your fields here
</lift:SearchForm>
</form>

In this approach we don't tell lift to generate a form but we wrap the
snippet into a form. Nonetheless this should also work:

<lift:SearchForm.send form="POST" id="myFormId"/>

Then put your link anywhere in your page.

Br's,
Marius

It works fine. Thanks a lot.
