Re: onSubmit and submit()

Albert,

you have to reference tthe form ie if it is the first form on your page

onClick="document.forms[0].submit()"

It's best though not to put it in line, but to call a seperate function, and
put your code there. you can then do all your checking etc inside the
function and not use the onSubmit funstion.

function submitform()
{
 var formserror
   // error checking code here
 if (formserror==true)
   {
   alert("there were errors");
    return;
   }
 else
   {
    document.forms[0].submit();
  }
}
