submit hidden form to ASP page

Cross-posted to AJAX Toolkit & S-controls forum previously; received no answer. Please help!
 
Here is the setup:
I have an s-control that contains some HTML (with Javascript). The s-control queries the sforce database and obtains all of the account names (in my dummy Salesforce account, there are only 40).
 
It creates the equivalent number of "hidden" inputs and appends them to an existing form while populating each of them with the corresponding account name.
 
It is supposed to auto-submit the form to an ASP page. It does this using https (I have an SSL certificate for the server I am using).
 
The problem:
The form does not autosubmit (i.e. using the form.submit method in Javascript). It works if I create a "submit" type input and click it.
 
Earlier, it was not working because I was trying to pass information from a secure (https -- Salesforce) to a non-secure (http -- mine) server. If I clicked the "submit" button, it would prompt me for permission to switch protocols. I have now resolved this issue, but the form still only submits if I do it manually.
 
 
Can anyone please help me with this? Is there a better method of passing data to an ASP page? Thank you,
