Hello, I have a problem when using javascript in Firefox, here is the html:

<HTML>
<BODY>  
        <TABLE align="center">  
            <TR><td><input type=button name=submit onclick="javascript:submitIt()" value="submit" align="center"></td></TR>
            <TD>
                    <TABLE>     
                            <DIV STYLE="display:none position:relative;">   
                                <FORM ID="formA" NAME="formA" METHOD="post" ACTION="b.html" TARGET="_blank">
                                <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME=aInput VALUE="1294457296">        
                                </FORM>
                            </DIV>
                </TABLE>
            </TD>
        </TABLE></BODY></HTML>

and here's the javascript:

    <script language="Javascript">
    function submitIt()
{
    oForm = document.getElementById("formA");
    strRequest = "<HTML><BODY>" + oForm.parentNode.innerHTML + "</BODY></HTML>";
    newDoc = window.open("", "", "");
    newDoc.document.write(strRequest);  
}

Problem is when you click submit button in this html page, you'll get a new html with source:

<HTML><BODY><form id="formA" name="formA" method="post" action="b.html" target="_blank"></form>
                                <input name="aInput" value="1294457296" type="hidden">  </BODY></HTML>

but it's supposed to be

<HTML><BODY><form id="formA" name="formA" method="post" action="b.html" target="_blank">
                                <input name="aInput" value="1294457296" type="hidden"></form>   </BODY></HTML>

Could anyone please help please? it will be really appreciated. Thanks!
