Is there a reason I get an error "document.forms.qform.submit is not a function" when I use: document.forms['qform'].submit();?
AFAIK, it should work fine
<FORM method="post" action="" id="qform" name="qform">

Well, your action is /technicaly/ valid, but some browsers are rather buggy when it comes to action="".
I'm guessing you have a form control named submit, which is clobbering the normal submit property of the object.

Ah, that could be the issue
