return IE6 bug?

[TasteMyLipstick]

Hello everybody,

I wonder if any of you have experienced the same and if so, how did you manage to solve it.

I have a form named 'xmlform' in my document, which has an element named 'xmlcontent'.

I need to submit the form with use of JavaScript.

function submit_form(a) {
document.getElementById('xmlform').xmlcontent.valu e = a;
document.getElementById('xmlform').submit();
return false;
}

Form code
<form id="xmlform" method="post" action="NewLocation">
<textarea id="xmlcontent" name="xmlcontent" rows="12" cols="70"></textarea>
</form>

Somewhere in the document I have a code

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="return submit_form('lorem ipsum');">

That works well in all browsers, including IE6.

But I need to call the 'submit_form' function from a flash application and I can't call return submit_form('lorem ipsum'), but only submit_form('lorem ipsum'), which makes the code non-workable in IE6.

So, as obviously, IE6 understands only "Function(Values); return Something;" and not just "Function(Values)".

Any ideas?

maybe "return Function(Values)"?...

Not possible in Flash. It's only possible to call a name of the function with variables.
