The last line submits the form.  The rest of it doesn't <wink>.

For example, objForm.action = "blah" sets the form element's action
attribute to "blah", thus causing objForm.submit() to submit to a
different URL.  Google for "HTML 4.01 spec", and read the documentation
for the Form element's action attribute.  Then try looking at the HTML
that contains the JavaScript function above, and figure out what
objForm.BrowserName.value = "whatever" does (search for "BrowserName" in
the HTML).
