form submit by clicking on anchor tag in IE11

I am trying to update some old code that works correctly on all versions of IE except IE11. When an anchor tag is clicked a javascript function is run. The function . All that the function does is that it gets certain values from the DOM and then submits a form using the post action. I understand that IE11 submit does not work if the input element does not have a name. Here, the submit is done by clicking on an anchor tag- I tried adding a name and id to the anchor tag but it is still not working. Any idea on how to get it to work. Following is the anchor tag.

<a class="nohigh"  href="javascript:getClassDetails('<%=Id%>');">

Following is the javascript function:

function getClassDetails(a){
 var classId = document.getElementById(classIdRow ).value;
 var courseId = document.getElementById(courseIdRow).value;
 document.getElementById('val1').value = classId 
 document.getElementById('val2').value = courseId 
 document.getElementById('clasCourseForm').submit();
}

fixed it - by adding both a name and id to the form.

[edit: removed the original answer, as the question has been changed to correct the syntax]

In addition, the JS code has other weirdness, in that the function is accepting a parameter (a) but never uses it within the function. There's almost certainly some kind of logic mistake involved there which you'll want to look into.

The function that you want should be:

function getClassDetails(a){
 var classId = document.getElementById(classIdRow).value; // assuming classIdRow is defined
 var courseId = document.getElementById(courseIdRow).value; // assuming courseIdRow is defined
 document.getElementById('val1').value = classId;
 document.getElementById('val2').value = courseId;
 document.getElementById('clasCourseForm').submit();
}

That's at least assuming that all the JavaScript you have up there ^ is verbatim.
