[Javascript] Generic submit

[Shawn Milo]

Something like document.forms[0].submit(); should work, but, 
of course, it would only submit the first form. 

Also, maybe -- wait!

Try this:
document.forms[this.form.id].submit();

If your XHTML is good, and you have ids for all of 
your forms, I think that this should work.
