<font face="Arial">I've been thinking along the same lines.&nbsp; Is there a
way to have a javascript for onSubmit -- that could be scripted with a
popup.&nbsp; This is one way to make students verify the values they enter
like the nice routine that Phil wrote.<br>

  <p> <span>I&#8217;d like to write some code that would use an
alternate event to trigger a &#8220;submit&#8221;. </span> </p>
  <p> <span> &nbsp; </span> </p>
  <p> <span>Details: I have a java applet that does various actions
when
the user presses &#8220;OK&#8221;. I would like to add code that would simulate
the user pressing the loncapa &#8220;submit answer&#8221; button. Obviously, I
would also like to hide the &#8220;submit answer&#8221; button so that the user
does not get confused about whether to press &#8220;OK&#8221; or &#8220;Submit
Answer&#8221;. </span> </p>
  <p> <span> &nbsp; </span> </p>
  <p> <span>Suggestions for how I might go about this? </span> </p>
