Oject Does Not Support This Property Or Method

[Ayan Biswas]

I used the following javascript function to submit a form in the jsp page

function formSubmit1() {
	
	document.forms[1].action = "SearchSupplierAction.do?method=search"; 
	document.forms[1].submit(); 

	
}

But whenever I click the submit button I get the following error 'Oject Does Not Support This Property Or Method'.The error is in the following line

document.forms[1].action = "SearchSupplierAction.do?method=search"; 

I am using IE.How would I get rid of this problem?

Do you have two forms on your JSP?
If no then you will need to use

 document.forms[0]

instead of

document.forms[1]

@Nikhil Padharia ,yes I have 2 forms in my jsp page

Try debugging what value of document or document.forms[1] you are getting.
Probably one of them is null, which is creating the problem.

Are you sure?
If that is not the case then I don't think there is any reason you get this error.
What values you get for document and document.forms[1]?

alert(document) gave [object]
alert(document.forms[1]) gave [object]
alert(document.forms[1]== null ) gave false
alert(document.forms.length); gave 2

[Nikhil Padharia]

and what does document.forms[1].action gives you?

and what does document.forms[1].action gives you?

alert(document.forms[1].action==null) gives false;

All this tests you are performing using the same submit button click?

Yes

Do you have an element on your page named action or submit? [textbox, btn, etc?]

If you do rename it.
