I assume, you want to do this in your browser (i.e. on client side):
Javascript allows you to set the values of some variables,
e.g. hidden variables or text variables.
Other variables, e.g. submit variables do not want to get a value.

You use something like:

	document.formname.variablename.value = yourvalue;

Look into a good Javascript book for details.

You submit a form not a document.

Try:	document.formname.submit()


Again, a good Javascript book is your friend.
