form1.submit(); in Firefox? Works in IE

[jodleren]

Hi all!

I have this little nice part, which works in IE, but not in Firefox.
Can anyone help me?

It seems that one gets this error: form1.elements is not a function

What should I use instead?

function directclick(input)
{
pos=input.indexOf("_");
form1 = document.forms[1];
form1.elements("aaa").value=input.substring(0,pos);
form1.elements("bbb").value=input.substring(pos+1);
form1.submit();
// this is not automatically called
DisableSubmits(); // my own func which disables submit buttons
}

This your second form of the page?

form1.elements("aaa").value=input.substring(0,pos);
form1.elements['aaa'].value

form1.elements("bbb").value=input.substring(pos+1);

form1.elements['bbb'].value

form1.submit();

yep, there are 2 forms. Could use one, if I by JS can create hidden
values. Form0 has one less than form2

form1.elements("aaa").value=input.substring(0,pos);
form1.elements['aaa'].value

form1.elements("bbb").value=input.substring(pos+1);

form1.elements['bbb'].value

Just asking - this works in IE too, or do I have to make a choise
here?

Did you test?

The [] is the standard, because:

form1.elements['bbb'].value

and

form1.elements.bbb.value

are equivalent.

elements("aaa") is wrong.
