onSubmit not working in a layer

[Jujubee]

This is really frustrating.

I've got some form code that works fine on a regular HTML page, but when I put it in a layer, its screwy.

<form action="doform.php" method="POST" onSubmit="myfunction()">

Basically I want to call the function and submit the form at the same time. Works fine on a plain page, but when I try in a layer, it goes to the "doform.php", but it doesn't submit any of the form values! (When I change the method to GET, it goes to "doform.php?" with no variables after the ?)

If I remove the "onSubmit" everything works.

Thanks for the help!

Maybe you should tell us what your function does.

[Jujubee]

The function calls another layer to the top.

The doform.php just echoes the values submitted from the form.

When the form is in a layer and is submitted, $HTTP_POST_VARS is completely empty.

Don't know Javascript too well - I must be missing something...

Why not forego the action and method altogether and use your Javascript function to submit the form after bringing that layer to the top.

[Jujubee]

Please forgive my ignorance, but how would I submit the form via javascript?

Your last line of your function should read

document.yourformname.submit();
