Details
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
BuildID: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4.1)

load the html file below in netscape 6.2.3, then click on the link "submit", it
doesn't work. When "submit" is clicked, it goes to a javascript function, then
calls form's submit() eventually. The same html file works on netscape 4.7x and
IE 5.5/6.0.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open the html file which I attach in "Additional Information" section.
2.click on the link "submit"
3.submit doesn't send the request to the server, instead it will hang.
Actual Results: submit doesn't send the request to the server, instead it will
hang.
Expected Results: www.netscape.com should be loaded.

<input type="text" name="textfield">
<input type="hidden" name="hidden_name" value="">
<a href="javascript:void(dataTypeCompFormSubmit
('submit', 'submit'));">Submit</a>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function dataTypeCompFormSubmit(buttonName, buttonValue) {
document.form1.hidden_name.value = buttonName;
document.form1.hidden_name.name = buttonValue;
document.form1.submit();
}
</script>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Reporter, this is not a form submission bug. There is an error on the
javascript console when I click the link:
Error: document.form1.submit is not a function
Source File: file:///C:/Dave/FormSubmit.html
Line: 17 [i.e., document.form1.submit();]
It is interesting to note that everything works fine when I remove the lines:
document.form1.hidden_name.value = buttonName;
document.form1.hidden_name.name = buttonValue;
from the script. Still working on why...

I have narrowed it down even further. Just removing the line:
document.form1.hidden_name.name = buttonValue;
fixes things also.
So somehow the fact that you are changing the name of a control messes things up
destroying some properties/functions of the form1 object. Any way you cut it,
it makes all the object's functions inaccessible.
Maybe invalid, probably should reassign to the javascript engine component or
something to get the right answer/QA.

The key point is the button's name is being changed to 'submit'.
That particular name conflicts with the form's submit() method.
