I have a form which returns results with AHAH. I have a designer that wants to rebuild the form completely with Javascript for those who have it. When the user clicks of something, the form needs to submit. The problem is that we can't use document.formname.submit(). If we submit(), we don't get the pretty AHAH functionality. I am writing a module now that includes script that tries to do this. Does anyone know how to give any DOM element the ability to submit an AHAH request on click?
