As lame as it gets... 1

I've done this 100,000 times before but now it doesn't want to work.

I'm trying to submit a form using a hyperlink vice a submit button

//function
I've also tried the name of the form, that didn't work either.

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
function submitform()
{
  document.forms[0].submit();
}
</SCRIPT>

// form tag

<form name = "formName" method = "post" action = "pageName.htm">

// hyperlink

<a href="javascript: submitform()" class="btn">

I'm sorry, I should know better.

"object doesn't support this property or method"

is the error

Some things to check:

1. If you have any form element named "submit", change the name. It would be causing this issue.

2. Is your form really the first form on the page?

Re: the error... that points to point 1, above.

excellent display!

Yes I had a hidden form field named submit for some checks on the server side. I changed the name. The error changed to "object expected" so I changed forms[0] to the form's name and it works. The form is the ONLY form on the document.

Thank you!
