This document.forms['mySecretAndHiddenForm'].submit(); probably isn't
working for you because it's not the id of the form once jsf has
renderd it. If you look at the source of the generated html page the
id of you form has all the names of the parent containers seperated by
:. Anyway i've found the j4j tag library's idProxy tag works great for
getting the correct id of an element from javascript.
