[thelist] Javascript - form action reference problem

[Martyn Haigh]

I'm having a problem with this bit of JS.
It comes up with a JS error on this line :
document.forms['login'].action = "login.asp?a="+action;

When I click the 'Resend pass' link near the bottom.

I'm not very good with JS - and can't see why this is failing.
 The line :
setTimeout("document.forms['login'].elements['pass'].focus();",100);
works fine...so I think I'm not referencing the action object of the form
properly, but can't for the life of me work out the right way to do it.

 Can anyone help me out.

<code>

<script type="text/javascript">

function submitform(action)
{
	document.forms['login'].action = "login.asp?a="+action;
	document.forms['login'].submit();
}
setTimeout("document.forms['login'].elements['pass'].focus();",100);

</script>

......


<form id="login" name="login" method="post" action="login.asp">
<div class="centered">
	<div class="logincontainer">
	  <div class="loginheader">Login</div>
		<div class="logincontent">

			<label for="user">Name</label>
			<input id="user" type="text" size="13" name="user"
/>
			<br />
			<label for="pass">Password</label>
			<input id="pass" name="pass" type="password"
size="13" />
			<br />

			<br />
			<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Login" />

			<input type="hidden" name="dir" value="" />
			<input type="hidden" name="ma" value="" />
			<input type="hidden" name="m" value="" />
			<input type="hidden" name="goto" value="" />
			<input type="hidden" name="a" value="login" />
	  </div>
	</div>
<a href="javascript:submitform('sendpass');">Resend pass</a><br /><br />
</div>
</form>

</code>

Thank you very much
