In that case, post the corresponding HTML code that would allow us to reproduce the error.

View the source in the browser. You don't need to post everything, just the relevant parts of the form.

why not use setAttribute

Code:

document.forms.whatever.setAttribute("action", [URL]http://www.wherever.com);[/URL]

setAttribute will just avoid an error, but it still won't solve the problem, e.g.

Code:

<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
function setFormAction() {
   document.forms.formname.setAttribute("action","http://www.google.com");
}
</script>
<form name="formname">
<input type="button" value="Set Form Action" onclick="setFormAction()">
<input type="hidden" name="action">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

now if you comment out the hidden field, it'll work both ways:

Code:

<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
function setFormAction() {
    document.forms.formname.action="http://www.google.com";
}
</script>
<form name="formname">
<input type="button" value="Set Form Action" onclick="setFormAction()">
<!--<input type="hidden" name="action">-->
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
