Javascript form submit

So I have a javascript function that validaes a form and then submits it.

The code is something like this:

var f = document.myform;
if(f){
f.action = 'test.php';
f.method='post';
f.submit();
}


this code works for all browsers except IE6. does anyone know of a workaround?

I need to use javascript submit because I don't want the form to submit when the user presess "enter".

 

What's the line failing in IE6?

In the mean time, you can try:

var f = document.getElementById('myform');
if (f) {
  f.action = 'test.php';
  f.method = 'post';
  f.submit();
}

Code (markup):

Be sure your form tag has id attribute:

<form action="" name="..." id="myform" ....

or try var f = document.forms[myform];
If nothing, could you post also related HTML?

 

document.getElementById() is a standard function and work for most navigators out there. Using other syntax, like you proposed is error prone.
