Form not being submitted

I have run into a strange problem building an HTTPUnit test.  The site
that I am testing is using frames and javascript and up until this point
I have had no problems.  However, to complete a workflow process on this
website, I have to click through a series of forms and on the last form
when I try and submit the form, nothing seems to happen and I get no
errors either.  The following is a snippet  showing the <FORM> tag, and
submit button along with a javascript function that gets called from
OnSubmit.

 

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="e2kActionResult.jsp" onSubmit="return
validateEmail()">

.

.

.

<TABLE align=center>
        <TR>
               <TD align=right><INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT
VALUE="Terminate"></TD>
               <TD align=left><INPUT TYPE=BUTTON VALUE="Cancel"
ONCLICK="cancelOperation()"></TD>
        </TR>
</TABLE>
        <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=OPERATION VALUE=TERMINATETP>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="edi_Address">
</FORM>

 

 

Here is the validateEmail() function, declared in a <SCRIPT> tag on the
same page.:

 

function validateEmail() {
               var emailValue =
document.forms[0].EMAIL_ADDRESS_ENTERED.value
               flag = checkMultipleEmail(emailValue)
               if(flag == false)
                       alert("Check the email address entered")
               return flag    
        }

 

 

I am not clicking the Cancel button.  I have tried using form.submit(),
form.submitNoButtons().  I have even tried button.click() on the submit
button.  Nothing seems to work. I suspect this has to do with the
javascript onsubmit function but I am not sure.
