Change value of input and submit form in JavaScript

Question

I\'m currently working on a basic form. When you hit the submit button, it should first change the value of a field, and then submit the form as usual. It all looks a bit li

Answer 1

document.getElementById("myform").submit();

This won't work as your form tag doesn't have an id.

Change it like this and it should work:

<form name="myform" id="myform" action="action.php">

Answer 2

My problem turned out to be that I was assigning as document.getElementById("myinput").Value = '1';

Notice the capital V in Value? Once I changed it to small case, i.e., value, the data started posting. Odd as it was not giving any JavaScript errors either.
