Hi. Is it possible to replace the standard buttons "save" and "close" in the frontend of K2 with an input type="submit"? What needs to be done for this? Standard replacement does not work. Thanks.

My idea is to make K2 in the frontend as a form to submit. To check the completion of all necessary fields (name of post, description, etc.) using js validation plugin and to send the post using the input "submit". In this case, the "save" and "close" buttons are inappropriate for use.

This is all done. The form is completely redone. It remains only now not to save the entered data using the save button, but to send them to the database by the send button. In K2 frontend (in itemform.php) the data is saved by clicking on the tag <a>:
<a href="#" onclick="Joomla.submitbutton('save');return false;">
<i class="fa fa-check" aria-hidden="true"></i> <?php echo JText::_('K2_SAVE'); ?>
</a>
Is it possible to replace this tag <a> with the input button type "submit"?
