Update a db Field by button

You wouldnt have to use javascript if you dont wont to validate anything client side. As you are using the input type submit this is the same as using onclick as when its clicked it will submit the form. you way also want to use the hidden form object to send the record ID. For example:

<form action="approve.asp" method="post">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="recordID" VALUE=<%=recordID%>>

<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="x_Link_Aprvd" VALUE="Approve" >

</form>

done that but it doesn't update the record

<form action="/admin/dt_lk_tbllinksedit.asp?key=" & Server.URLEncode(rs("Link_ID"))" method="post">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
 <tr>
  <td>  
   <INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="link_ID" VALUE=<%=link_ID %>>
   <input type="Submit" name="x_Link_Aprvd" value="Approved">
  </td>
  
 </tr>
</table>
</form>

Basically it's a yes/no field, by default it's set to "NO", I want to change that to "YES" by clicking the approved button.

the field name is "link_aprvd" on the table "tblinks"
