Values are not Submitted when I submit a form using IE browser

Description:I have created a web form and performing some validation on the form elements.

I have written an javascript function for submitting the values. I have used a tag in the web form and used that form name as an object to submit the form.

for e.g …

in JS header I have written an javascript function called validate() which submits the forms. for e.g

function validate()

{

var form=document.abc;

form.submit();

}

Problem:

When I open the form using Internet explorer browser the document gets created in the database but the values are not submitted. This happen only when I use the IE explorer. The error is not a frequently occuring sometimes the documents are submitted with the exact values in the database. This error is not occurred when I use FireFox or chrome browser.

Request you to please provide me solution for fixing this bug in the Internet explorer browser.

Thanks in advance for your help.
