Trouble Submitting Form with JavaScript

[incognito-41]

I'm having trouble sumbitting a form using javascript. The form has a submit button (type=button) that used to be type=submit. i have change it's properties so that it now calls a function that later submits the information. the problem I'm having is that when i click the submit button the function does what it's supposed to do. it just won't submit. the functions purpose is to check the text in my text areas and modify it before submitting it. the text is being modified, but not being submitted. thanks all.

There could be a few potential issues that could be causing your form to not submit properly. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Make sure that your function is actually calling the form's submit method. You can do this by checking the code in your function to see if there is a line that looks something like this: "document.getElementById('myForm').submit();". If this line is missing, the form will not submit.

2. Check if there are any errors in your function. If there are any errors, it could prevent the form from submitting. You can use your browser's console to check for any errors and fix them.

3. Check the form's action attribute. This specifies where the form data will be submitted to. If this is missing or incorrect, the form will not submit properly.

4. Make sure that your submit button is still inside the form tags. Since you changed the submit button's type from "submit" to "button", it may have accidentally been moved outside of the form tags. This could prevent the form from submitting.

5. If none of the above solutions work, try using a different method for submitting the form. Instead of using a function, you can try using the "onsubmit" attribute in the form tag, which calls a function when the form is submitted.

I hope one of these solutions helps resolve your issue with submitting the form using JavaScript. If you continue to experience trouble, don't hesitate to reach out for further assistance.
