Re: unable to programmatically perform a submit

[Peter Alfors]

Bill,

    Did you name your submit button "submit"  ?
I came across this problem as well.
It appears that you cannot name an object on your screen the same thing
as
a javascript action, for example, submit().
When I renamed by submit button to "btnSubmit" it worked fine.
