title: Submit Button without a form
body: <p>So what I want is a button, that when clicked, sends an article id to a php page through GET request, and the PHP page generates a PDF summary of my article. </p>
  
  <p>Now this is fairly simple to do if I had a form tag, but I don't and I can't have one since my button is in a table, and as far as I know, forms cannot exist in tables. I still tried using a form tag but it was breaking my site so that's not an option. </p>
  
  <p>The following is what I have: </p>
  
  <pre><code>echo "&lt;td&gt;&lt;button type=\"submit\" formaction=\"wp-content/themes/csed/data-entry/results.php\" formmethod=\"get\"class=\"button\" name=\"id\" value=\"" .$single-&gt;idArticle. "\" formtarget=\"_blank\"&gt;PDF&lt;/button&gt;&lt;/td&gt;";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you can see, I tried using the formaction attribute to make this work, but right now, my button does not do anything. Anything at all. What am I doing wrong? 
  Is what I'm trying to achieve even possible? </p>
