submit problem

[david]

I was experiencing a false bug with safari when trying to submit a post form
from a javascript script:

function my_submit()
{
document.theForm.submit.click();
}

it doesn't work in the "current" version (1.0 v85.6) of Safari (nothing
happens) while it works with mozilla (1.5) and IE. So i tried:

function my_submit()
{
document.theForm.submit();
}

but i was having an error message in the Mac OS Console application.

In fact, it was because of the name of my submit button:

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="whatever">

but if i change the name of the button:

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="whatever">
^

then, the first method works on the 3 browsers :)

Since i didn't find anything about that on google, i think it's a good idea to
post it with the keywords i used for my research.

Cheers

Ah! Bon! that's better ;-)

with your last change in name of button to submit
try in firts method :

function my_submit() { document.theForm.Submit.click(); }

==> you ask to click on the element named 'Submit',
that's to say on the right button : submit
