The OP evidently intended to represent a vulgar noise, descriptive of
the code shown by Ralph, and not a real English word.

But please do not make spelling corrections in a language that you
yourself cannot spell properly.

The proper English spellings are berk and burke, and not burk; the
former is a simple insult of vulgar derivation, and the second means,
roughly, cheat, being derived from a proper name.


Page js-date5.htm has lost its final "eval".

Check boilerplate spelling -- error is a public sign of incompetence.
Never fully trust an article from a poster who gives no full real name.

No reason to call submit at all, in fact it may be bad unless you also
cancel the default behaviour of the submit button, when you click a
submit button the form is going to be submitted unless you cancel the
event.

Also the this.disabled approach may result in your input submit
elements name/value pair not being sent with the submission.

this.disabled=t rue is all you need surely?

Generally it's preferable to use what works in the widest possible
situations with the lowest possible risk it shouldn't matter who
convened the meeting that chose it, but yeah all your solutions were
better than the simple .all solution suggested.
