Password ?!</a></li><input type="submit" value="Login" name="login"/>
</fieldset>
</form>
# JS - there is a little mootools in there, but though that might be
the problem so I used the document. to see if that would do it
function hitmenFormSubmit(form_id)
{
form = form_id.get('id');
this.alert("form submit " +" "+form);
document.login_form.submit();
//$(form).submit();
}
The HTML button is on the page for debugging. The HTML button works
just fine. but the javascript button results in this error.
Views function is looking for request.POST ['login'] == Login
Why would a javascript submit not post the same data?
