document.forms[0].submit() function called from different location in IE6

[janulam]

Hello,
I have following code snippet:

...
function submitForm() {
      document.forms[0].submit();
}
..
 

When I call this function when pressing "Add" button, everything works fine:

<form name="svnlink" method="post">
...
<input type="button" value="Add" name="btn" onclick="submitForm();">

I need to call this submitForm() function from another javascript file but it doesn't work in IE6, it works correctly in IE7 and Firefox. What I need is to submit this form when user clicks one of items, which are dynamically created in different *.js file (I use there code: <a ... onclick="javascript:submitForm();>item_name</a>). I don't know how to make submit() function work in IE6.

Thanks for answer

Try

[HTML] javascript:document.forms[0].submit();[/HTML]

Hi,
I have fixed it already. problem was, that I used

<a ... href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:document.forms[0].submit();">

When I added return statement, it works in IE6 as well:

<a ... href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:document.forms[0].submit();return false;">
