Unable to `submit()` an html form after intercepting the submit with javascript.
- by Ross Rogers
I'm trying to intercept the submission of a form in order to change the value of my keywords label.
I have the following code:
<HTML>
<FORM name="searchForm" method="get" action="tmp.html" >
<input type="label" name="keywords" />
<input type="button" name="submit" value="submit" onclick="formIntercept();"/>
</FORM>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
document.searchForm.keywords.focus();
function formIntercept( ) {
var f = document.forms['searchForm'];
f.keywords.value = 'boo';
f.submit();
};
</SCRIPT>
</HTML>
When I run this in chrome and click the submit button the keywords label changes to boo, but the javascript console says:
Uncaught TypeError: Property 'submit' of object <#an HtmlFormElement> is not a function.
How can I submit the form with the manipulated keywords?
