[Javascript] Form submission problem

[Laurent Muchacho]

Hi 

The error is the input type submit called "submit"
If you called your input type submit name="submit" then there will be a
conflict when the browser will try to execute the function
document.errorform.submit() the browser will then access the input type
submit and then return the error you get.

document.errorform  = reference to your form 
document.errorform.submit = reference to the input type submit an input type
submit is not a function but an object
document.errorform.submit() = reference to the function to submit the form 

Hope this is clear

Regards

Laurent

Hi all,

I am using the following code to try and give a text link to submit a form.
I am
sure I have done this before but it is not working ! 

<a href="javascript:document.errorform.submit();">Fill in missing
information</a>
<form name="errorform" method="post"
action="show_survey.php?survey=1&authority=2&page=1">
<input type="hidden" name="2" value="2" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="fill in missing information" />
</form>


Any ideas why ? I get a 

Error: document.errorform.submit is not a function
Source File: javascript:document.errorform.submit();
Line: 1

Thanks,

Richard
