I have a function called formFill() and I want it to submit the form after it is done. Right now the function is ran by an onclick within a div like this:
<div class="stormData" onClick="formFill('11-04-14','11-04-14','TX','none');">11-04-14 - TX</div>
this works fine but I wanted the function to submit the form also so I added document.theform.submit(); to the function and it does not work. Here is my function.
function formFill(a, b, c, d){
theform.from.value = a;
theform.to.value = b;
if(d != "none"){
theform.kmlFile.value = d;
theform.hailswath.checked = true;
document.getElementById("kmlLabel").innerHTML = d;
}
for(var i = 0;i < document.getElementById("stateSelect").length;i++){
if(document.getElementById("stateSelect").options[i].value == c ){
document.getElementById("stateSelect").selectedIndex = i;
}
}
document.theform.submit();
}

Do you have a form element with name='submit'? If so rename it and your function will work.

after you finish doing whatever preprocessing you want to do, you can do:
myForm.submit()
edit: make sure you are calling .submit() on the right object; is your theform
object a global variable that is pointing to the correct form element? e.g. you can do document.getElementById('id_of_your_form').submit(); if that works and theform.submit()
does not work, you probably want to make sure that your earlier calls to theform.from were working properly
