Problem in Netscape 4.7 Macintosh

[Milind]

Following is my script. This script works in windows platforms in all vwersions of netscape and IE. But creates problem in Mac OS 8.6.

In the HTML I have layer named 'formLayer' in which entire form is placed.

var msgStr = "Achtung !\n\n";
var boolCorrect = true;
var theForm = (document.layers)?document.formLayer.document.myform:document.myform;

if(theForm.name.value=="")
     {
         msgStr += "Bitte geben Sie einen Namen an.\n";
         boolCorrect = false;
     }

if(boolCorrect)
    theForm.submit();
 else
    alert(msgStr);

In this script the alert messages are shown as desired. But the form is not submitted.
Does any one know ??
Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Warm Regards,
