Delay on form submit

Shambler

I have a form which looks something like this:

<form name="tempForm" action="confirmation.php" method="post">

.. form contents ..

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" onClick="tempFunction();">
<input type="reset" onClick="ResetForms(1);">

tempFunction(); is a Javascript-function which, among other things, closes a childwindow. This childwindow must be closed before confirmation.php is fully loaded - otherwise the browser will come up with the nasty "Scripting error - continue loading scripts on this site, yes/no"-error.

The problem is that this error occurs sometimes - I suspect it to be caused mainly by caching/computer-hickups and what not. If there's even the slightest delay, confirmation.php is loaded before the childwindow is closed, and the error occurs.

Therefore, I'd like to delay the form-submitting (and not the onclick-event), if that's possible.

Thanks in advance! 🙂

Assuming the JS error doesnt actually affect the usability of the page, one can suppress the error.

It doesn't affect usability - I just don't want the users to get "shocked" by this popup..

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function SymError()
{
  return true;
}

window.onerror = SymError;

//-->
</script>
