document.formname.submit(); stopped working 1

[1DMF]

I can't for the life of me work out why my form has just stopped being submitted

I have a button with an on click which calls this function

function checkit(){

var msg = '';

if(document.guestgb.name.value == ''){msg = msg + '\nYour Name';}
if(document.guestgb.location.value == ''){msg = msg + '\nYour Location';}
if(document.guestgb.age.value == ''){msg = msg + '\nYour Age';}
if(document.guestgb.comments.value == ''){msg = msg + '\nYour Comments';}

if(msg != ''){
    alert("Please complete the following field(s),\n" + msg);
}
else{
    document.guestgb.submit();
}


}

but now I get an error

object doesn't support this property or method

what's changed? it used to work, and the alerts for failure to complete required fields works fine, I just can't submit the damn form - why?

i've even tried giving the form an ID and using get ElementById and still no joy.

Any ideas?

you probably have a form element named "submit"...
