document.form.submit() does not work after few tries!

A curious problem occurring related to document.form.submit() in ASP. Please help. Thanks.

There are 3 buttons on a web page. On clicking each button a same popup window (say window1) opens up. Now there is another button on this popup window (window1), which further opens up to another popup window (say window2). On selecting some value from the 'window2', that value is passed onto the 'window1'. There is a 'Find' link on a 'window1', which calls a javascript function 'clicked()':

<head>
<%
  Dim command
  command = Request.Form("hid");
  Response.Write(“Value” & command);  -- The value is not printed (Reason found after 
                                               analysis that may be because the form is not submitted 
                                                successfully)
%>

function clicked()
{
   document.form.hid.value='FIND';
   alert("before");              -- This message box appears
   document.form.submit();       -- after a lot of analysis the conclusion is that 
                              this submit statement stops working (as on the status   
                              bar 'Opening https:.....File1.asp?form=...' is not 
                              displayed when 'after' message box appears
   alert("after");               -- This message box appears 
}

<body.......>
<% if command = "FIND" then
   Response.Write ("Inside Find"); -- This message is not printed.
  // some functonality

%>
<form ....>

   <input type="hidden" name="hid" value="">

</form>
</body>

This full code works fine on my machine. But this code does not work properly when run on the client-side!, although the same server and the same deployed application is being accessed. There is no particular sequence/scenario but for eg. When say button1 clicked->window1 opens->window2 is opened->value selected->returned to window1->Clicked on Find-> clicked on Ok->returned on the main page. Then repeated the same scenario for say 3rd button. (Till now 'Find' link works fine). Now repeated the same scenario for 2nd button and here 'after' message is obtained but 'inside Find' is not printed!!
