Re: Using Javascript to submit a form doesn't work [Problem Solved]

[Matt Blum]

No, it's not.  When you invoke the submit method on a form, its onsubmit handler is not executed at all.  That's the reason this code is necessary in the first place.

Be careful with that script!

Your onsubmit method is executed twice if it will return a value true!

You have to use this code:

if(document.forms['body:theForm'].onsubmit) {
      document.forms['body:theForm'].submit();
} else {
    document.forms['body:theForm'].submit();
}

otherwise:

if(document.forms['body:theForm'].onsubmit) {
    if(document.forms['body:theForm'].onsubmit()) <<<<<<<- onsubmit is
executed here and if it returns true submit
      document.forms['body:theForm'].submit();   <<<<<<<-- and onsubmit is
executed here
} else {
     document.forms['body:theForm'].submit();
}
