I have created a small recorder application in dotnet that records my
actions in Internet Explorer into a replayable simulation.
For this I have registered the mshtml.DocumentEvents2 class. It all
works neat and dandy, except when I encounter a form on a web page
that is not directly submitted with a regular html-Submit button, but
rather through a validating javascript function, like this:
function SubmitForm(formObject){
//Some validating code here...
formObject.submit();
}
With the html part looking like this:
<form name="MyForm" id="s_form_1" action="clicktest2.html"
method="post">
<a onclick="SubmitForm(document.MyForm); return false;"
href="javascript:void(0)" >Submit</a>
</form>
What happens in IE6 is that any command in the SubmitForm function is
executed on the browser, except for the formObject.submit() call. This
is simply ignored (seemingly). So no error messages anywhere and I'm
not transferred to the next page.
When running this recorder app on a machine with IE7, this method is
executed properly.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
