116218 - Uncaught exception on JavaScript submit

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 115262

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Alexander Skwar]

Since 2001-12-17 (or thereabouts) I'm unable to submit some forms which have a
JavaScript document.submit().  Basically it happens with the IMP webmail system.

Clicking on a submit button on one of its forms gives me the following error
message in the JavaScript console:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMHTMLFormElement.submit]"  nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
http://alex-bei.dyndns.info/horde/imp/compose.php?popup=1&to=&cc=&bcc=&msg=&subject=&thismailbox=INBOX&uniq=1008847528886
:: uniqSubmit :: line 182"  data: no]

The button executes the following JavaScript source:

document.compose.actionID.value='114'; uniqSubmit();

uniqSumbit() is a JavaScript function defined as follows:

function uniqSubmit()
{
    now = new Date();
    document.compose.action = document.compose.action + now.getTime();
    document.compose.submit();
}

I'll attach the offending HTML source to this bug.

IMP also offers a demo setup on their site at http://demo.horde.org/.  This
sites always runs the latest version of the software and the bug happens there
as well.
