Having problems submitting a form using javascript 1

[southbeach]

I have this script

<script type="text/javascript">
function RemCharge(id,code,desc,rate,qty,units,amount) {
	var agree = confirm('You have requested to remove following entry:\n Code: ' + code + '\nDesc: ' + desc + '\n Qty: ' + qty + '\n    : ' + units + '\nAmnt: ' + amount + '\n\nARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO REMOVE THIS ENTRY?');
	if (agree)
	{
		document.getElementById('submitID').value='Remove';
		document.getElementById('remidID').value=id;
		document.AddCharge.submit();
	}
}
</script>

and I am getting an error

document.AddCharge.submit is not a function

AddCharge is the name of my form

<form name="AddCharge" action="<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

I admit that is has been a very long day but I really cannot see the reason to this error. I even found some pages sampling this type of code and they worked OK but not within my page.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Try:

document.[!]forms.[/!]AddCharge.submit();

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

[0] The line
[tt] document.AddCharge.submit();[/tt]
by itself is just fine. Error may be thrown though mainly for two page structure related causes.

[1] Either you have more than one form named AddCharge; in that case, index should be nneded such as:
[tt]
document.forms[0].submit(); //independent of name, index 0 for first form.
[/tt]
or if you want to use index associated with AddCharge, it is this.
[tt]
if (document.AddCharge.length>1) {
document.AddCharge[0].submit(); //for first form of that name
} else {
document.AddCharge.submit();
}
[/tt]
[2] Or, most likely the case, is that you have a submit button named "submit", you have to change it to some other name to avoid the collision.
[tt]
<form name="AddCharge" action="<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
<!-- etc etc -- and somewhere a submit button... -->
<!-- <input type="submit" name="[red]submit[/red]" /> -->
<!-- change it to someother name -->
<input type="submit" name="someothername" />
<!-- etc etc... -->
</form>
[/tt]
The latter ([2]) seems more probably be the cause.

A third possibility is that the form isn't actually named AddCharge.

You need to show your form HTML for us to know for sure what the problem is.
