document.mapserv.submit(); problems in javascript

[Pietro Giannini]

Hi Ian,
try firs the answer of Umberto...
if not:

submit is not a function of mapserver, but a function of the javascript
object form, which send the data of the form to the web server, accordin
to the method (POST or GET, default GET, I suppose, but is not important
yet)

try some debug methods like alerts:

   var oform =
document.forms["mapserv"];
    if (!oform) {
alert("form not recognized");  }

and the
problem is another.
try too another browser.

javascript
need much patience 

bye

use  "

problems. Is submit() a function

program?
