[Javascript] Form submission problem

[Lau]

I'm using the <a href="javascript:window.document.generate.submit();">submit</a> format in a framed
page without any problems.

Double-check the spelling and capitalisation of "Generate"

If its not that then create a html page with nothing in it but the FORM, a single field, and the
submit url.... that should work (if it doesn't post the code) then add the rest of your code a bit a
time, testing after each addition to check whether it still works. When it stops working you know
that the problem is in the last bit of code you added.

On many occasions I've done this process and the code never stops working! .... sometimes you just
got to convince the bloody computer that it really can do it.

good luck
Lau
