Safari Javascript Problem

darren

I have a small Javascript problem with that mutch love web browser
safari, I tested the code on all other browsers PC (Win) and Linux and
IE on the mac and it seams to work ok, but for some reason it will not
work with safari.

function domywindows() {
//alert('test');
mywondows =
window.open('wr iteme.html','Te llAFriend','wid th=450,height=6 00');
mywondows.docum ent.write("<htm l>");
mywondows.docum ent.write("<bod y>");
mywondows.docum ent.write("Work ing Please Wait........")
mywondows.docum ent.write("<for m method='post' name='myform'
action='sendm.p hp' target='_self'> ");
mywondows.docum ent.write("<inp ut type='hidden' name='urlis' value='" +
window.location + "?osadcampaign= tf'>");
mywondows.docum ent.write("<inp ut type='hidden' name='productna me'
value ='" + productname +"'>");
mywondows.docum ent.write("</form>");
mywondows.docum ent.write("</body>");
mywondows.docum ent.write("</html>");
mywondows.docum ent.myform.subm it();
}

I do have an idea. I don't have time to test it, but here you go:

When you dynamically create a document with document.write( ), you
should really call document.close( ) after you're done document.writin g
it. The other browsers may guess somehow (maybe because you call a
method of a child of that document) but you can't blame Safari for not
predicting that you won't document.write( ) anymore.
Acutally, if you document.write( ) into that window after calling its
document.myform .submit, all the other browsers will likely start the
document from scratch since they closed() it implicitly, while Safari
may be able to append to it. Which behavior is right, the
specifications don't say.
Add this line right after the last document.write in your function:

mywondows.docum ent.close()

and see if it works better in Safari.

"...will not work" is not a suitable explanation. Does the new window
open? Does anything get written? Do you see any errors in the script
console?

Since you completely replace the content of the document, why not leave
the URL blank?

window.open('', ...);

mywondows.docum ent.write("<htm l>");

Instead of a series of document.write statements, use one statement and
concatenate the text to be written:

mywondows.docum ent.write(
"<html><body>Wo rking Please Wait........"
+ "<form method='post' name='myform' "
+ "action='sendm. php' target='_self'> "
+ "<input type='hidden' name='urlis' value='"
+ window.location + "?osadcampaign= tf'>"
+ "<input type='hidden' name='productna me' value ='"
+ productname +"'>"
+ "</form></body></html>"
);

mywondows.docum ent.myform.subm it();

Before attempting to access elements in the new document, finish
writing it with document.close( ), then try to submit the form:

mywondows.docum ent.close();
mywondows.docum ent.myform.subm it();

If you don't close the form, Firefox will also continue to look like it
is loading the document until some other event causes it to stop (like
loading another page).

As a general strategy, it seems pointless to create a new (pop up)
window just to submit a form, particularly as many pop-up blockers can
stop you from doing so.
