form submit using javascript

[Reet81]

Hi,

I am aware that you can use the following:

document.myform.submit();

to submit a form in javascript but I was wondering if you could also indicate the action. I want to post the form using javascript and actioned as action="mailto:email@nowhere.com".

Is there a way of doing this?

Many thanks

Why not just do it?
[tt] document.myform.action="mailto:email@nowhere.com";
document.myform.submit();
[/tt]

Be sure that you don't have a form element with the name of action. Believe it or not... I once spent several hours unravelling a bug that was due to an attempt to set the action (as Tsuji suggests) only to find that it was actually setting a form element called action.

Cheers,
Jeff

You're not the only one Jeff. I've done the very same thing. Extremely frustrating to debug!
