form.reload vs. form.submit

[rosn459]

I am trying to submit a form after I select a record from a select box. Once a record is selected, a js function is called. I can reload my form using form.reload within my javascript function. But, whenever I try to use form.submit within my javascript function, I get the following error:

"Object doesn't support this property or method".

Here is my JS:

function blahblah()
{querystr="Anotherform.html?emailaddress=#emailaddress#"";
newWindow=window.open(querystr,'newWin','width=300,height=300,scrollbars=1,resizble=1');
newWindow.focus();
document.form.submit();}

The name of the form I want to submit is Property.html.

Why does form.reload work and form.submit does not? How can I get property.html to submit after I have selected the correct e-mail address from the drop-down?

THe name of the FORM is Property.html or the name of the file is Property.html?

What does your actual <FORM> tag look like? It should be something along the lines of
[tt]<form action=&quot;WhateverProcessYouSubmitDataTo&quot; name=&quot;ActualNameOfYourForm&quot;>[/tt]

Where you would call document.ActualNameOfYourForm.submit() to submit the data.

My form tag on the parent page is
<form action=&quot;Property.html&quot; name=&quot;Property&quot;>

My child form is opened with a separate JS hyperlink from Property.html.

I am calling the document.Property.submit() from within within my javascript function that is on the child form.

>> that is on the child form.

Whereas the form is on the main page yeah? Then you need to refer to the opening page via the [tt]opener[/tt] reference. Try:
[tt]self.opener.document.Property.submit()[/tt]

I get this message:

self.opener.document.Property.submit() is null or not an object
