Dropdown list error

[stephen2005]

any ideas why this error would occur when an auto
postback event is triggered from dropdown list?

"Microsoft JScript runtime error: Object doesn't support this property
or method"

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var theForm = document.forms['form1'];
if (!theForm) {
theForm = document.form1;
}
function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
if (!theForm.onsubmit || (theForm.onsubmit() != false)) {
theForm.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget;
theForm.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theForm.submit(); <---------------ERROR Occurs here
}
}
// -->
</script>

stephen: Post this problem over at the Javascript forum; you'll probably get an answer in short order.

>>Object doesn't support this property or method"

check if u have any control with the name / id as "submit". if it is there then remove it...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull

vbkris - usually the submit line (from what I recall of javascript) goes something like:

window.opener.document.forms["Form1"].submit();

and similar statements - however, the guys over at the Javascript forum would make short work of this (probably a matter of minutes).

Hi guys, thanks a lot for your help. It turns out had foolishly given another button control on the page the ID of 'submit'

And don't forget javascript is "case" sensitive; that one will sneak up behind you as well -- cheers.
