FIX: Form.Submit Method Doesn't Use Form.Action Property

   <HTML>
   <HEAD>
   <TITLE>Action element in a Form</TITLE>
   </HEAD>

   <FORM NAME="Form1">
   <INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="Button1">
   <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="Text1">
   </FORM>

   <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT">
   Sub Button1_OnClick
       form1.action ="http://www.microsoft.com"
   ' this will not work
       form1.submit
   End Sub
   </SCRIPT>
   </HTML>
				

RESOLUTION

Call the window.navigate method or set the window.location.href property. However, this sets the method to "GET" as opposed to "POST." You'll have to pass the contents of the form yourself:

   <HTML>
   <HEAD>
   <TITLE>Action element in a Form</TITLE>
   </HEAD>

   <FORM NAME="Form1">
   <INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="Button1">
   </FORM>

   <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT">
   Sub Button1_OnClick
      window.navigate "http://www.microsoft.com?Text1=" &
      form1.text1.value
      ' or you can also do:
      ' window.location.href = "http://www.microsoft.com?Text1=" &
   ' form1.text1.value
   End Sub
   </SCRIPT>
   </HTML>
