I've solved this problem for us some time ago. Bottomline is that you can't
prevent a user from leaving a certain page. Sending a form using
document.MyForm.submit() won't work. I've tried that.
Use a javascript function that is to be called in the onunload event of the
html page. In this javascript function you can have a (invisible) applet
send the form to whatever url you want. I've done this in the past and works
perfectly! Let me know if you're interested in javascript/java code samples.
