window.document.formaname.submit() not working for some case.

Hi all,
the code where i am finding a problem is as follows:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<html>

<head>

<script>

function fun1(){

window.document.formName.action="/someServlet";

window.document.formName.submit();

}

</script>
 
</head>
 
<body>

<form  name="formName" action = "/ab.jsp" method ="post">

<a href="#" onClick="fun1();" >Some Link</a>
 
</form></body>

</html>

The problem here is when i click on the hyperLink it goes to the onClick method and from there the action is set to be redirected to a servlet(even when action was set to a jsp it didnt work), but it doesnt call the submit() method after that,...

Why is this so???

Plz do clarify the doubt....

Welcome to TSDN!

I've never worked with servlets so this may be a useless question, but do servlets not require an extension, e.g. .jsp?

Try:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 document.forms["formName"].action="/someServlet";

document.forms["formName"].submit();

Your form doesn't have any elements, so what's going to be posted?

Hi...
Well the action is going to some controller which in my case is a servlet.
I put alert before the submit() method. I am even gettin that alert but after that the form is not getting submitted....
Why is it so???

Try adding some form elements. It's an empty form.

Well the flow is as follows...
There is one jsp(java code in HTML file) by name Options.jsp and it has a top file called TopFrame.jsp . there is a hyperLink in Options.jspt file say like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<a href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="logoff()">Logout</a>

this logff() method has code like this

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

top.close();

the Topframe.jsp has in its body onLoad method calls one more logOff method in that TopFrame.jsp file.
In this logoff method i am calling

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
document.formname.action="/someservlet"

alert("Came before submit");

document.fromname.submit();

i reach till the alert message is thrown but after that submit is not called.... This is wat my concern was./...

Check your code that it doesn't contain form elements with the name "action".

Do you not see any errors?
