Re: unable to programmatically perform a submit
hi michelle, i see a main difference between your struts version and your non-struts version. on the struts version you have forms[0] referencing your form and on the second one you have forms[1]. the secure way to talk to forms by JavaScript is to reference the form by name. document.formName.submit(); or document.formName.elementName.value = something; hope this will help you. norman - Original Message - From: Michelle Popovits [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2001 11:19 PM Subject: unable to programmatically perform a submit Hi, I am trying to get an image map working that does a submit.

Re: unable to programmatically perform a submit
Yes, I am referencing 0 and 1 because I am running both forms on the same page (simultaneously). The 0 is for the struts form and the 1 is for the non-struts form. I can programmatically, submit no problem on the non-struts form but not on the struts form. The struts form tag in the generated html looks like this: form name=personalInfoForm method=POST action=/LAPS1/VirtualClassroomWAR/editPersonalInfo.do id=form1 the non-struts form looks like this: form id=f1 Because I can submit the second form using the index 1, this means that the page recognizes that there is something in position 0, but that it seems that it has somehow been rendered in such a way that it can't be programmatically submitted using javascript. I have also tried using the form name instead of the index and the results are the same. What has struts done to my form to make it not work? I don't know Has anyone else out there been able to make this work?

Re: unable to programmatically perform a submit
Michelle, I had the exact same issue in IE and it had to do with having an actual submit or reset button as part of the form. For some reason, If I had a submit button on the form, performing a submit in javascript yeilded the error that you see. When I remove the submit button (or reset button), theerror goes away. Don't know why this is.

RE: unable to programmatically perform a submit
Hi, I've spent some time on this problem as well and it is very strange. I wasn't using an image map but instead just trying to get a HREF link to submit. I tried having an onclick that called a javascript function that did a submit as well as a submit in the onclick itself. I tried using document.forms[0] as well as using the form name. All of the above examples WORKED when I didn't use the struts html:form tag. As soon as I used the struts html:form tag I'd get an error saying the submit() was invalid. Ultimately I switched to a html:submit button which worked, although it's not the presentation I'd prefer. I don't think this is what you want with your image map. I'm still looking into it to see what's going on.
