Form Submit Problem

[amolbehl]

function formsubmit(formname)
{
alert(formname);
var submitform = document.getElementById(formname);
alert(submitform);
submitform.submit();
}

I use this function to submit many forms from different pages, now for most pages the second alert returns an ObjectHTML... but for one particular form the first alert pops the name of the form properly but the second alert returns NULL can you tell and needless to say the particular page(form) does not work.

Could someone tell me whts happening??

Show the form HTML and how you are calling it.

printf("<form name=makeqset id=makeqset method=post action=\"%s\">\n", $this->show_cb());
printf(" <table class=\"showobject_gq\">\n");
printf(" <tr class=objectrow>\n");
printf(" <td style=\"width:40%%\">\n");
.....
.....
.....
printf(" <input class=button type=button value=\"Save & Close\" onclick=\"savechanges('makeqset')\">\n");
printf(" </td>\n");
printf(" </tr>\n");
printf(" </table>\n");
printf("</form>\n"


Now the Javascript code is

function savechanges(formname)
{
var allqs = document.getElementById("allqs");
var selectedqs = document.getElementById("selectedqs");

selectedqslen = selectedqs.length;
// Check if the inviteelist is not empty.
if(selectedqslen <=0)
{
alert(" Please select a quiz question before Saving");
return 0;
}

for( i=0; i< selectedqslen ; i++)
{
alert(selectedqslen);
selectedqs.options[i].selected = true ;
}
alert(formname);
var sform = document.getElementById(formname);
alert(sform);
sform.submit();
//document.forms['makeqset'].submit();
}

the alret(sform) is returning NULL. Thanx for looking into it.
