    submit within onchange not working correctly in Firefox

    Hello,
    I have a strange situation happening on the code below. When I first
    load the page, as I change any of the three combo boxes I have created,
    the onchange event is fired and the form should be submitted, but it
    isn't for some weird reason. However, after I press the ok button, it
    submits the form, and then the combo boxes start working normally. In
    IE, everything works fine.
    I appreciate any help. Thank you.

      No, it's not weird at all. You're using an IE shortcut that Firefox and other
      browsers don't support. The correct way to refer to your form is:

      document.frmlat eral.submit();

          That'll do the job, more formally:

          document.forms['frmlateral'].submit();


          is perhaps considered the 'correct' way. Another is:

          document.forms. frmlateral.subm it();

              I have to ask a question I have asked in the past:

              Is there a known browser where document.forms['frmlateral']submit()
              submits the form but document.frmlat eral.submit() doesn't?

              The first assumes the named form is a property of the document object,
              the second one doesn't. So I guess the real question is if there is a
              known browser that doesn't make named forms a property of the document
              object.

                  I don't know.

                  I just figured it was worth mentioning the various ways, since often
                  (well, occasionally) a question is asked about how to access a form or
                  form control where a string has been used for the name that can't be
                  successfully used with dot notation, hence square brackets are
                  required - e.g. name="form[6]".

                  Perhaps I should have included that tidbit, or at least a reference to
                  the appropriate FAQ section:

                  <URL:http://www.jibbering.c om/faq/#FAQ4_36>

                  The answer is if the name can't be used with dot notation then square
                  brackets are required.

                      Lee,
                      I worked perfectly. That's why I hate Microsoft products.... they are
                      made for lazy programmers!
                      Thank you very much!
                      Pascal
