I don't think you do yourself justice with this one. Although I'm sure there
are times when you would use a JS button over a formula, I think the error has
more to do with how you call the submit.
By calling document.forms[0].submit() you are assuming that the code in the
onsubmit button is called, and thus the doClick() code that Domino generates is
called. Is this the case?
If not, either through your use of the submit() method, or as a result of
browsers not calling the onsubmit code in response to submit(), then it appears
that the fault is either in the browser or your code.
Granted that Lotus' response sounds lame, but it suggests that it is a result
of onsubmit, and therefore doClick not being called.
What happens if you call doClick directly, assuming you can work out the button
reference? What happens if you call onsubmit() instead of submit? The doClick
code is important to Domino's processing of the POST request, so does need to
be executed.
