Right. You cannot submit form3 from page1.asp. You submit the form from
the page you are on. Even if you call a form on an open page, you are
submitting from that page.
If page3.asp was a popup and had a handle of page3, then you could call for
the form to submit from page1.
page3.document.form3.submit()
