I am trying to dynamically assign the action of a form based upon the choice of the user. IE works using document.form1.action="some_cgi.cgi";

Netscape of course coughs and dies....I am really tired of fighting netscape!!!

Anyone have any alternative method or workaround.

Situation is necessary as I have a form containing several hundred elements and wish to send the form results to one of several cgi's to process.

Any help is always appreciated

Okie Dokie.....so it pays to triple check your syntax.....
I was referring to the action as
parent.framename.formname.action
IE accepts this, Netscape demands
parent.framename.document.formname.action

So, bottom line, I am able to update the action of my form dynamically in both IE and Netscape....

I still hold that Netscape is a royal pain in the $&% !!!!
