Your submit button is named "submit". Change its name and your submit()
functions will work again.

hmmm. something still doesn't work. when i open a new window, i give it
the name "childWindow". the form is named "formname".
none of the following work:
document.formname.submit();
self.formname.submit();
childWindow.formname.submit();
what am I missing? i'm sure it's something obvious
<form name="formname" action="/content_upload.jsp" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="data"><br/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Finish"
onClick="self.formname.submit();opener.location.href='/main_page.jsp';self.c
lose()"><br>
</form>
