document.form.input.value not staying

Posted a 'new message on the JavaScript forum.

Hey, I've used the document.value command/script loads in previous sessions, but I can't see what is going on with this one.

##In the head section inside a <script> tag###

function submit_wepname()
{
document.info_gather.weapon_name.value = preset_wepnames.dropdown_wep_choice.value;
}

##In the body section##

<form id="info_gather" name="info_gather" method="post" action="">
<input type="text" id="weapon_name" name="weapon_name" value="test1" readonly="readonly"/>
<input type="text" id="attack_type" name="attack_type" value="test2" readonly="readonly"/>
</form>

When the javascript function is run (via a submit button) it works and the input value in the form changes to the appropriate value, but it then instantly flicks back to the default value (test1). Even if i put value="" it just flicks back to an empty input box. Any ideas? I'm guessing it's a simple thing that I'm gonna kick myself about =/
