[Javascript] Submitting form in a parent window

    Why do you have a parameter in the submit method?  The proper syntax for
form submission is

document.formname.submit();

    Also, any particular reason why you're showing us the ASP that builds
your script rather than the script itself?  That might be more helpful...
