I've seen lots of discussion & disagreement on this issue, so any good explanation would be appreciated.
Some people seem to think that "document.GetElementByID("MyName").submit(); should and does work. I and others have experienced that it should & doesn't work. I'll give you a little file that I tested with IE 6, FF 3, Opera & Chrome. Only the form button and document.forms['MyName'].submit(); worked. Take a look & let me know if I've done something wrong, or if there is a good reason that shouldn't work.
Thanks,
Chris
