Been following this thread and I just spotted something in Philip's code
snipplet that I have been wondering about.
Whenever you call an event function, I have always passed the name of the
form as 'this.form' Philip, you just called it with "this" Why does either
way work?? Also, in the function, you execute the submit with
"document.form1.submit" Could you have also done "object.submit()"?? I
have had a tough time getting used to the notation surrounding objects and
it looks like you can almost do whatever you want!!
Thanks for the onKeyUp event hint, too. This has provided me a way out of a
similar problem, too.
