Form action help needed...

[Xavier Bourguignon]

Hi

I have a form with a name, and action, a post method.

In rare occasion I want the form action to be different to the default
action, so I do this: document.formNa me.action = "newURL";

This works fine under Mozilla, but does not work under IE5, 5.5 or 6,
it says: Object doesn't support this property or method.

Does anyone know what could be wrong?


cheers

I was going to suggest that IE doesn't support it, but I tried it with
IE 6 and it works. Perhaps you could post the relevant parts of the
script that attempt to change the action property, and when and how
it's called. It might be a simple syntax error.

Thanks for the reply, I have found out what the problem was, I had a
hidden input with the name set as "action", obviously this confused
IE.
