The Javascript Submit Postback Problem

So I have seen several articles and suggestions for a problem that I cannot seem to solve.

The basic setup is this, I have a PHP page that is using jquery.fileuploader (not particuarlly relevent) to upload a file to my server. My page also has a form on it that has checkbox and text search textbox that postback to its self when submit is clicked. This all works fine. The file uploader works and puts the file on my server no problems. The standard form submits back to the same page to filter and update the page based on the status of the check boxes, this works just fine.

The problem I am having is this. Once the fileuploader finishes it process, I want the page to postback to its self, in order to pass the filename accross so I can catch it with the PHP.

I have added the following at the end of the upload process script, in an attempt to submit the results (file name) collected from javascript to post back to the page:

```
document.getElementById("filterForm").submit();
```

I can confirm that a post is made but the page is never reloaded so the PHP never has the oppertunity to catch the value and reload the page.

Basically what I am trying to do is take the results of a javascript function (variable) and post it back to the same page where PHP processes the post in order to get the value from javascript to PHP. Im doing it this way mostly to get the "filename" value to PHP via a POST.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks,
Joshua
