Can FF have a javascript function call a form's submit within a loop (multiple submits)?

more options

I have a page that allows a user to select multiple reports (links) to view. I have javascript code that works in IE that loops through all the "selected" checkbox objects and submits each "selected" report. Firefox will open the first report but does not open any others.

 function fnSubmit(report,role)
 {
    document.filing.REPORT.value = report;
    document.filing.fr.value = role;
    document.filing.submit();
 }
 function fnView()
 {
    var chkbox = document.getElementsByName("rpt");
    for (var i=0; i<chkbox.length; i++)
    {
       if (chkbox[i].checked==true) {
          link = document.getElementById(chkbox[i].value);
          link.onclick();
       }
    }
 }
</pre>

links look like: <input type="CheckBox" NAME="rpt" Value="23062"> <a id="23062" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="javascript:fnSubmit('reportid',' ')">002 - Some Report</a>

Thanks for any help.

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox.
