I recall JavaScript form submits having problems if an element is

Thanks Freddy. I've come up with a small JS function for form submissions that will popup an alert 
about this problem:

submitForm=function(form, validate) {
  if (form) {
    if(document.getElementsByName('submit').length != 0) {
      alert('Error: In order to submit the Form through JavaScript, buttons and fields must not be 
named "submit". Please rename the button/field called "submit".');
      return false;
    }
    form.submit();
  }
}

Then instead of:
  submit.setAttribute("onclick", "form.submit()");

do:
  submit.setAttribute("onclick", "submitForm(form)");


kind regards
