This is probably the wrong forum but I am having trouble with a couple of 
pages.   I have to show and hide layers in a page and allow users to pick 
options from a 'catalog'.  Depending upon their choices I then display the 
results in another layer.   As their choices can be multi-layered (multi-
levelled) I change the contents of hidden form fields using VB Script.   I 
then want to action the form from the same piece of code using something 
like:   document.myform.submit() only nothing happens.

In the script I have already declared, set and used a variable: vForm to 
access and change fields of the ilk:

vform.myfield.value=myvariable  where vform is:  document.myform.

I reasonable example of what we are trying to achieve is something similar 
to Encarta97 with respect to its articles.

That should work. But i'd recommend ya to put your contents on several 
different DIVs and change their visibility without any submittance at all. 
I checked this approach with relativelly a big data, it works without 
delay.
Also check if you put your controls exact WITHIN your form. And use 
JScript, looks like a bit more stabil.

Cheers.
