Hi, I'm doing some privatemsg module hacking and my client want's to break the "bunch of buttons" paradigm and to have a nicely styled message center. I need to wrap some of the buttons with classy divs but that's not the problem here..

I need to find a way to substitute a forms submit button with a link. This is what I have so far...

$form['new_folder'] = array( '#value' => '<a href="javascript:forms.privatemsg_list_form.submit()">New folder</a>', '#name' => 'op' );

instead of something like this ..

$form['new_message'] = array( '#type' => 'submit', '#value' => t('Write a new message'), '#name' => 'op' );

Now the form that receives this uses the value submitted to enter a case clause so I need to pass the text as the submitted value...

switch ($op) { case 'list': $output = _privatemsg_list($arg); $title = t('Private messages'); break; case 'view': $output = _privatemsg_view($arg); $title = t("Read message"); $breadcrumb = array(l(t('Home'), ''), l(t('private messages'), 'privatemsg')); break; case t('Write a new message'): $arg = ""; case 'form':

etc...

Any ideas or reference implementations? Lior
