javascript form.submit() netscape issue

[moogwai]

salutations reader(s). I have a form with a submit/validation function. IE works lovely, netscape on the other hand... I get an error:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... &quot;Component returned failure code: 0x805303e8 [nsIDOMHTMLFormElement.submit]&quot; nsresult: &quot;0x805303e8 (<unknown>)&quot; location: &quot;JS frame :: file:///C:/WINNT/Profiles/Administrator.000/Desktop/app.html :: validate :: line 310&quot; data: no]

I have no idea what this means. There was an issue of Netscape saying myForm was not defined when the submit code was myForm.submit() so I changed it to x.submit() which is when I received the previously stated error message. myForm is what the form is called. Here is the abbreviated version of what I have, the error points to the line x.submit():

(in the head)
function validate()
{
x=document.myForm
if (x.First_Name.value == &quot;&quot
{
alert (&quot;Please enter your first name.&quot;
x.First_Name.focus()
return;
}
x.submit()
}
...
<form name=&quot;myForm&quot; action=&quot;MAILTO:noone@nowhere.com?subject=My aching brian&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; enctype=&quot;text/plain&quot; onsubmit=&quot;return validate()&quot;>


Any points would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if my question is indecipherable.
Thanks, Moog.
