form has no submit() method?!

bardley · Jun 25, 2002

Hi. I have:

<form name="lookupform" method="post" action="report_results.php" target="report_data">

(some other stuff here)

<select name="type" onChange="mod_date(selectedIndex); lookupform.submit()">

and IE insists on telling me that "lookupform" does not support the submit() property! NN just ignores it. Anyone know why???

curious...I've had this happen to me before too, but when I try your code (without the mod_date() function though) in IE 5.5 it works fine. are you closing all your tags, e.g. </option> </select> </form>?

works fine for me:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<form name="lookupform" method="post" action="report_results.php" target="report_data">
<select name="type" onChange="lookupform.submit()">
<option value="1">1
<option value="2">2
</select>
</form>
</body>
</html>

just in case make sure you have not called anything else
lookupform

I'll assume you have options in the select tag and have closed the select and form tags.

The code you provided worked fine for me. You may try putting an

Code:

id=&quot;lookupform&quot;

in the form tag. You may also try using the full

Code:

document.forms.lookupform.submit()

.
