submit/reset problem	Can't Post

i have forms around my script which have different form names. I am submitting and resetting my forms through javascript.

here's the submitting part of it ('mainform' is the name of the form), i did it this way so i can change the name of the form easily:

Code

<A HREF="javascript:form_submit('mainform')"><IMG SRC="submit.gif" BORDER=0></A>

and here's the submit javascript part of it:

Code

function form_submit(selected_form) { 
    document.selected_form.submit(); 
}

i keep getting an error, but i don't know why. I'm not completely familiar with javascript, so passing information is very new to me. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Re: submit/reset problem [In reply to]	Can't Post

anyone please, i'm still kinda stuck on this. I've shortened the code if anyone didn't understand. The form won't submit or reset still.

Code

<HTML> 
<HEAD> 
<TITLE>test</TITLE> 
</HEAD> 
<BODY> 
<script language="JavaScript"> 
 
</script> 
<FORM NAME="mainform" ACTION="http://www.webcrawler.com" METHOD=GET> 
<INPUT TYPE="text" VALUE="something"> 
<A HREF="javascript:form_submit('mainform')">submit</A> <A HREF="javascript:form_reset('mainform')">reset</A> 
</FORM> 
</BODY> 
</HTML>
