<tip type="JavaScript" author=".jeff">

the submit() method is the lazy developer's way out of doing something the
right way.  never use it.  instead, consider an alternate means of
submitting the form, like say, including a submit button that *everyone* can
use.

<tip type="JavaScript" author=".jeff">

beware of the submit() method.  it won't cause the onsubmit event handler to
fire.
