submit within onchange not working correctly in Firefox

Pascal Batzli Jr

Hello,
I have a strange situation happening on the code below. When I first
load the page, as I change any of the three combo boxes I have created,
the onchange event is fired and the form should be submitted, but it
isn't for some weird reason. However, after I press the ok button, it
submits the form, and then the combo boxes start working normally. In
IE, everything works fine.
I appreciate any help. Thank you.

I have a strange situation happening on the code below. When I first

isn't for some weird reason. frmlateral.subm it();

No, it's not weird at all. You're using an IE shortcut that Firefox and other
browsers don't support. The correct way to refer to your form is:

document.frmlat eral.submit();

That'll do the job, more formally:

document.forms['frmlateral'].submit();
is perhaps considered the 'correct' way. Another is:

document.forms. frmlateral.subm it();

I have to ask a question I have asked in the past:

Is there a known browser where document.forms['frmlateral']submit()
submits the form but document.frmlat eral.submit() doesn't?

The first assumes the named form is a property of the document object,
the second one doesn't. So I guess the real question is if there is a
known browser that doesn't make named forms a property of the document
object.

I don't know.

I just figured it was worth mentioning the various ways, since often
(well, occasionally) a question is asked about how to access a form or
form control where a string has been used for the name that can't be
successfully used with dot notation, hence square brackets are
required - e.g. name="form[6]".

Perhaps I should have included that tidbit, or at least a reference to
the appropriate FAQ section:

<URL:http://www.jibbering.c om/faq/#FAQ4_36>

The first assumes the named form is a property of the document object,
the second one doesn't. So I guess the real question is if there is a
known browser that doesn't make named forms a property of the document
object.

The answer is if the name can't be used with dot notation then square
brackets are required.

Lee,
I worked perfectly. That's why I hate Microsoft products.... they are

Thank you very much!

IE6 problem with onchange handler on dynamically created <select>

by: Bart van Deenen | last post by:

Hi all I have a script where I dynamically create multiple inputs and selects from a script. The inputs and selects must have an associated onchange handler. I have the script working fine on Firefox, Safari and Konqueror, but the onchange event just doesn't fire on IE6. Firefox's javascript console shows no errors, and the IE script debugger shows nothing. onchange is not triggered.

-> Image submit buttons OK in Firefox, not in IExplorer. Why? <-

by: Steve JORDI | last post by:

Just a question using images as submit buttons and PHP4.4.4. It seems that my code correctly works in FireFox but not in IExplorer. For example, I have a FORM with 2 buttons called "search" and "save". In a second file, the one mentioned in the "action" parameter, I test which button has been clicked in order to decide which action to take. IExplorer doesn't get anything, FireFox correctly works.

Safari interprets 'submit()' as method 'POST'

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
