Question : function runs once, then error: "ïs not a function"

Hi experts,

I have created a javascript function which posts form data for a single form, then goes trough a loop which posts multiple forms. Both these methods use the same function to actually post the data, but when i try to post with the loop it gives a javascript error: "post is not a function" and clicking on the error shows the line

post = post( action, parameters );

But when i called it once before the loop the function was succesfully executed. Very strange.

Below the code that calls the function. The first code shows the single and looped call to a function. The second part is the called function which in turn calls the 3rd function which posts the data using ajax.

          // save the main form
result = saveForm( action, what, main );
	
// save the available forms
saveForms( 'address' );
saveForms( 'phone' );
saveForms( 'email' );

---------------------------------------

// the string with the POST data
parameters = 'what=company&id=' + generateId();
	
// add the field names and values to the post data
for( var i = 0; i < form.length; i++ )
{
	// save the form field
	field = form.elements[i];
		
	// add the field to the string
	parameters += '&' + field.name + '=' + field.value;
}

// add the company/contact id
parameters += '&c_id=' + c_id;
	
// post the data
post = post( action, parameters );
	
// return the value
return post;

---------------------------------------

// get the xmlHttp object
xmlHttp = getXmlHttpObject();
	
// open the page
xmlHttp.open( 'POST', '/modules/resources/add.php', false);
	
// set the request headers
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-length", parameters.length);
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
	
// send the data
xmlHttp.send( parameters );
	
// return the text that's recieved from the server
return xmlHttp.responseText;
