I have no idea why this doesn't work in MSIE. Is it because I'm trying to populate and submit the form from a text link?

Code: 
<head>
...
<script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; language=&quot;javascript&quot;>

/**
 * submit the GET request through the filter form
 **/
function filterById(emailId) {
	var ldf = document.LogDetailForm;
	if(emailId >= 0) {
		ldf.emailId.value = emailId;
		ldf.submit();
	}
} 
</script>
</head>
<body>
...
<form name=&quot;LogDetailForm&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;/strutsWeb/messageLevel.do&quot;>
Limited to Email Id: <input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;emailId&quot; value=&quot;&quot;><br />
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;Filter&quot; value=&quot;Show Actions&quot;>
</form>
...
<a href=&quot;javascript: void();&quot; onclick=&quot;filterById('123');&quot;>123</a>

Ideas?

Does it work if you use
Code: 
<a href=&quot;javascript: filterById('123');&quot;>123</a>
?

(I wonder what happens in that situation. When you've got an href and an onclick on one link I mean. Hrmmmm.)
