javascript parameters not reaching the servlet while using IE7

[suneet.taparia]

Hi,

On IE7 I'm using a script:

function saveValues()
{
var validateOK=true ;
if (typeof validate !='undefined')
validateOK = validate(docume nt.EditForm);

if (validateOK==tr ue) {
theAction = document.EditFo rm.action;
if ( theAction.index Of('?') == -1 ) {
if ( theAction.index Of('#') == -1 ) {
document.EditFo rm.action = theAction + "?__haction=app ly"
} else {
posit = theAction.index Of('#')
document.EditFo rm.action = theAction.subst ring(0,posit) +
"?__haction=app ly" + theAction.subst ring(posit,theA ction.length)
}
} else {
posit = theAction.index Of('?')
document.EditFo rm.action = theAction.subst ring(0,posit+1) +
"__haction=appl y&" + theAction.subst ring(posit+1,th eAction.length)
}
document.EditFo rm.submit();
}
}

but the http parameters are not reaching the servlet.But this works
absolutely fine on IE6

what could be the possibilites for this script faliure.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
2 thing you can look at:

1) Whitout diving into your substringlogic and hashes, why don't you simply
alert the action before submitting to check if the URL makes sense?
Like this:
alert ("action=".docu ment.forms.Edit Form.action);
document.forms. EditForm.submit ();

I mean, you claim it works allright, but did you check this?

2) Also [guessing], you are probably passing POST-form parameters too, but
you didn't show all the code.
It has been a long time since I last worked on J2EE/servlets, but could this
confuse the servlet?
Maybe it makes more sense to pass your info as a POST or as a GET, and not
both.
