Request to the server is lost when the html form is submitted...   

Hi,
  
  Whenever i submit the html form, request from the client is not send to
  the server. This happens rarely once in 30-40 times. On most of the 
  cases the form is submitted properly.

  I am using Windows 2000 professional and Internet Explorer 6.0

  If anyone have faced a similar problem kindly help on this.
  
  The page which i developed contains a cancel button. In the onClick event
  exit() function is invoked.

  The code snippet which i used is as follows  

  var flag = -1;
  ...
  ...
  function exit(){                                                           
             
	if( confirm( "Message ?") ){    
		closeWin();
		window.close();                                                       
	}                                                                           
    
	else{                                                                       
    
		return false;                                                           
	}                                                                           
    
  }
  

  function closeWin() {		        
	document.FORM_NAME.actionID.value = "9";
	submit();
  }

  function submit() {		
	if (flag < 0) {			
	   flag = 0;
	   document.FORM_NAME.submit();
	}
   }
