I've got a simple HTML-form. Unfornunately the field names is writting using
a comma like this:
<input type="submit" name="abc,ABC" value=" NEXT ">

This is valid using serverside CGI-applications. But "clicking" the
submit-button using javascript is difficult because:
formName.abc,ABC.click(); isn't valid.

year year... You'll say: "Rename the submit button"... But I'm not able to
do that, because it's generated serverside by a media asset management
software (Cumulus).

Reply plz using email

This is not a valid input name according to the HTML specifications. So, you
can't expect it to work.

Why would you want to .clik() this object, anyway?
It's a submit button. Just call the form.submit() yourself.

There are several submit forms... nice huh?

ie:
<FORM METHOD="GET" ACTION="cuwp_cgi">
<INPUT name="B_X_TN,QPN1" type=submit value=" Previous ">
<INPUT name="B_X_TN,QPN3" type=submit value=" Next ">
.....

I want to "fake" a click on the "Next" button?

<input type="button" value="Fake click on Next"
onclick="document.forms[0].elements['B_X_TN,QPN3'].click();">

Works in the following browsers: IE 5.01SP2, Netscape 4.61 and Mozilla 0.9.1+
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.1+) Gecko/20010613

Of course, you just move the onclick event code
(document.forms[0].elements['B_X_TN,QPN3'].click();) to wherever you want to
fake the clicking of "Next".
