I have tried getting this javascript to work in firefox but it just wont. Is there a reason and is there a way to sort it?

Code:
<form name="MyForm" method="POST" action="display.php">
<input type="hidden" name="ThisPageURL" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="TimeZoneOffset" value="">
</form>


<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><!--
document.MyForm.ThisPageURL.value = document.URL;
var visitortime = new Date();
document.MyForm.TimeZoneOffset.value = visitortime.getTimezoneOffset();
document.MyForm.submit();
//--></script>

Assign unique ids to your form elements and use document.getElementById('id_of_element') to retrieve objects from your page; the style of directly going document.id is poorly supported.

In general, it's a better idea to use document.getElementById() than the many other styles of retrieving object handles that're out there.

That's correct. Try to use methods like getElementById, getElementsByName, getElementsByTagName...
Just be careful that the first one returns an object and the last two return an array of objects.
