Matt, in JavaScript, the forms sit within a collection below the document root within the DOM. You should be able to directly reference your forms via index through JavaScript, using document.forms[0].submit(), document.forms[1].submit(), etc. HOWEVER, I would highly suggest switching your forms to have different names, as noted in your second version with the index included or something else uniquely identifying them, as maintaining references to items within the DOM of the browser through index will be a real hassle moving forward for page maintenance. It is a much better architectural approach to switch the names of your forms, but the above should work.
Hope this helps, Adam S. Grohs Senior Front End Technologist Scient, Inc.
