document.form.submit(); alternatives

[David Collision]

Is there any way that a form can have a button or element named "submit" while using document.form.submit()? Or is there another function with javascript that will submit the form? If not I guess I will have to go back to the old fashioned way of clicking it myself.

David,
No. Javascript wouldn't have any way of knowing whether you wanted the form element of the form function.

What exactly is it that you are trying to do?

[Yuriy Fuksenko]

Technicly speaking, you could clone your form object, obtain pointer to submit method, than insert all your original form parameters into this new form, and then call submit using the pointer you obtained.

function submitNyForm(formName){
   var originalForm = document.forms[formName];
   var duplicateForm = form.cloneNode(false);
   document.documentElement.appendChild(duplicateForm);
   var duplicateSubmit = duplicateForm.submit;
   for(var i=0;i<originalForm.elements.length;i++){
      var nextElement = originalForm.elements[i];
      var dublicateElement = nextElement.cloneNode(true);
      duplicateForm.appendChild(dublicateElement);
   }
   duplicateSubmit();
}

I have not tested that, but it should work.
But, I am not sure, does it worth it [ ]
