Why doesn't this work?

[wheeler08]

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function submitForm(){
document.menu.submit() ;
}
-->
</script>

echo '  <form name="menu" method="post" action="test2.php" target="mainFrame"><a href="test.htm" onClick="javascript:submitForm()">Link to another page</a></form>';

All the code above is one piece

If I change the javascript portion to something simple like "alert('testing 123');" It will work - does anyone know why the document.menu.submit() won't work??

try:
onClick="javascript:

instead of:
onClick="java script:

that made the difference for me (WinXP / IE 6)

I actually did type that - I don't know why it's showing a space on here. I even went in to edit it and it didn't show the space before posting....

Here is a revised version that is not working:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="show_label.php">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="4%"><p>
<select name="label">

          <?php for ($i = 1; $i <= $num_rows; $i++ )
{ 
  if ($i==1){
	  echo'<option selected>'.$value[$i].'</option>';  	
	 }else{
	  echo'<option>'.$value[$i].'</option>';
  }
} 
?>

</select>
</p> </td>
<td width="12%">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="84%"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="View Logo"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

The following on show_label.php does not grab the data above:

$color = $HTTP_POST_VARS['label'];
echo $color;

The option box populates properly, however, I cannot get it to pass the value to the next page
