Overview Description:

Calling the submit() method of a form element writes the following JavaScript
error to the console:

JavaScript error:
line 0:

In addition, the form does not submit, the browser subsequently fails to load
any page until it is restarted, and quitting the browser fails to end the
process, which must then be manually killed.

Steps to Reproduce:

Load the simple test case.

Actual Results:

JavaScript error and other abherrent behavior

Expected Results:

form submission

Build Date & Platform Bug Found:

Linux 2000-05-18-08

Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On:

M15 - the problem does not occur
Linux 2000-05-06-08 - the problem does not occur

Additional Information:

Bug 37744 was fixed on May 9, and I wonder if this is a regression caused by the
fix for that bug.  If so, this bug should be assigned to networking rather than
Form Submission.
