beetle_jaipur · November 12th, 2009, 01:40 AM

Hi,

i have one page in which i have form name finalSubmit : here is the code,

<form action="Conclude.asp" method="post" name="finalSubmit">
<input name="hiddenAnswers" type="hidden" value="" />
<input name="hiddenMarksheet" type="hidden" value="" />
<input name="btnSubmit" type="submit" value="submit form" />
</form>

and one include file : script.js

i want to make a submit call from this script.js file, like...

document.finalSubmit.submit();

but it says finalSubmit is not defined.

please help me, as i am new to javascript

best regards

Hmm, not sure here.

I have an HTML file that looks like this:

html Code:

<html xmlns="[url]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml[/url]">
<head>
 <title>Untitled Page</title>
 <script src="JScript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myform" action="foo">
Search: <input type='text' name='query'>
<a href="javascript: submitform()">Post Form</a>
</form> 
</body>
</html>

and JScript.js looks like this:

javascript Code:

function submitform()
{
     document.myform.submit();
}

And the form submits fine. Are you sure spelled everything correctly??

hth.
