The article says
"Overriding form attributes

It is possible, although currently only with Netscape Navigator, to override the ACTION, METHOD, ENCTYPE and TARGET form attributes.
"

This is incorrect.
This can be done in IE5 (tested).
I believe it is also possible in IE4.

The script doesn't work: the part about emailing the form information.

I copied the script, changed the email address to my own, and uploaded the html document to my webpage to try it out.

In IE5.0 it opens a form to write an email letter, and sending it doesn't send any form information. In Netscape4.5, I get an error message "unable to locate server mail"

Here's a puzzler for you: the <form>...</form> pair create a blank line at the end of the form in Netscape 4.x (IE treats it fine, no problems). You cannot place anything immediately after the </form> tag -- it will always display the "white space". Is there any way to overcome this? I've tried with CSS, but Netscape 4.x ignores it.

I found your article to be very precise and useful, but I couldn't find an answer to one of my queries - I want to submit a form to one page but I want my browser to navigate to a different page. How can this be done? I would be very grateful if you could guide me or give me some reference from where I can find out.
Thanks.

Protecting the content makes cut and pasting impossible. It makes your page almost worthless.

Hi

You article was worth reading. But I am not clear how to solve my problem.

I have a form wherein which I have to submit the form with the user entered values into the same page into an iframe. I accomplished by the submit() method. First time it works fine. But the problems is the url get changed to the submitted action. SO next time i change the drop down it onchange doesnt work. It just stays. Kinldy help me to resolve this. Pls note I am workng in a struts application and I using a jsp inside which an iframe is present which translates to html page
