JavaScript, submit form

[Andrew-J2000]

Capturing the current form and calling submit fails with "object doesn't support this method or property." Whether calling this.form.submit() or various combinations. Anyone have any idea why this would fail?

 <form action="/ASX2/www/public/rankings.php" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"  name="formWrap" id="formWrap" method="post" >
 ...
 </form>
 
  document.forms['formWrap'].submit()
   document.getElementById('formWrap').submit()
 this.form.submit()

i think your script is in conflict somewhere else...
try this submit somewhere separately...
cheers

Hi reminder,

Thanks for getting back to me.
I cannot see any conflict on the page as there are only 2 forms.

javascript: tmp='';for (i in document.forms) tmp+=(i)+'<br />';w=window.open('');w.document.write(tmp);

length
searchForm
formWrap

[reminder]

what you want to print into new window with this
for (i in document.forms) tmp+=(i)+'<br />'; ?
the (i) should be just i without brackets
and i really dont know if the javascript support this vb for loop
try to change the loop into
var formList = document.getElementsByTagName("form"), i;
for(i = 0; i < formList.length: i++) // loop
cheers

Thanks for getting back to me, I finally managed to find the source of the problem and it is extremely odd, as I have never seen this before.

In a number of our pages, we had something similar to the following in the form and by having the name equal to submit causes the javascript submit to fail.

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="View" />

This was the case for both Firefox and IE, however renaming name="submit" to something else works correctly.

PS. Reminder, that javascript for loop is perfectly valid have a look here for more details.
