IE6 form.action not working

[Joe Zendle]

Hi. I'm using the following javascript in IE6 and the call
to set the form action gives an error "Object doesn't
support this property or method". This works fine with
other browsers (netscape, mozilla, etc). Any thoughts?

<script Language="Javascript">

function thisFormSubmit(thisActionString) {
var thisForm = document.ModifyForm;
thisForm.action = thisActionString;
thisForm.submit();
}

Is there more to this that you haven't posted? It appears that you are
calling your function before your function definition has been closed (i.e.,
reverse last 2 lines). Also, for cross-browser compatibility, you should
declare a 'type' as well as a language (in your opening script tag). For
example:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
