Yes. The submit() still needs to be called on the appropriate form object.

Would this actually submit the form, or just set the ACTION attribute...
Wouldn't you need to add the following line of code AFTER... like
onClick="this.form.action='/ServletB'; this.form.submit();"
just thinking out loud

Liz,
Try this instead: onClick="this.form.action='/ServletB';"
It should work for Netscape, & IE 4 and above.
