onClick handlers on Submit objects are not guaranteed to be executed by the
javascript interpreter. what you need is an (1)onSubmit in the form or
(2) change
the input type above to be a button and force a submit via JavaScript.
(1)
<form name="theForm" onSubmit="return update_distributor()">
....
<input type="submit" value="Update"><BR>
.....
you should add the 'return' before the update_distributor call if you
wish this
function to return false and stop submission of the form.
(2)
<input type="button" onclick="update_distributor()" value="Update"><BR>
....
then in update_distributor()...
function update_distributor() {
....
document.forms['theForm'].submit(); // at the end when you want to
submit the form
}
