The definition of submit() in the DOM HTML 2.0 spec says only "Submits the form. It performs the same action as a submit button." Seems to me that this means the DOM implementation is free to implement security checks on form submission, and have them applied here. The only question seems to be whether there should be *additional* constraints. I would submit that since the nature of those constraints is out of the DOM's control, their existance is out of the scope of the DOM spec; take it up with whoever's standardizing browser behaviors. ______________________________________ "...
