I'm having trouble sumbitting a form using javascript. The form has a submit button (type=button) that used to be type=submit. i have change it's properties so that it now calls a function that later submits the information. the problem I'm having is that when i click the submit button the function does what it's supposed to do. it just won't submit. the functions purpose is to check the text in my text areas and modify it before submitting it. the text is being modified, but not being submitted. thanks all.
