I do this on another site, although not using javascript to submit:

<form action="http://www.wlug.org.nz/gsdl/cgi-bin/library" method="GET"
accept-charset="UTF-8">
<div>
<input type="text" value="" name="q" size="30" title="Search terms">
<input type="hidden" name="c" value="wiki">
<input type="hidden" name="a" value="q">
<input type="submit" class="button" value="Fulltext Search">
</div>
</form>
