[thelist] Trouble submitting form using javascript

[Daniel Kessler]

I have a form that I can use the 'submit' button to submit, but am  
having trouble using javascript to submit.  I'm going to include the  
extra js function just in case it's affecting the function I'm trying  
to use.  It gives the error, "Error: document. getSel.submit is not a  
function ".

Form:
<FORM NAME="getSel" id="getSel" METHOD="POST"  
action="additem_supervisor_approval.cfm">

<script language="javascript">
	
	function approve_individual(id){
		var the_id = id;
		/**/
		document.getSel.id.value = the_id;
		document.getSel.action = 'timesheet.cfm'; // I've also tried  
putting in a full url here.
		alert('document.getSel.id.value:'+document.getSel.id.value);
		// displays id fine
		alert('document.getSel.action:'+document.getSel.action);
		// displays new action fine
		
		document.getSel.submit();
		// Error: document. getSel.submit is not a function
		
	}
	
	function selectAll(end_num){
		var the_end_num = end_num;
		
		for(cc=1;cc<=Number(the_end_num);cc++){
			document.getSel["approval"+cc].checked = 'checked';
		}
		
	}
</script>
