Hello,
Very odd this?
I have a form which has
<input name="Submit" type="Submit" value="Click to send _
when finished" onclick="getNam e()">
and
function getName() {
var yourname = prompt("please give your first name and _
second name","type first name and second name here");
document.demoFo rm1.name.value = yourname;
}
This works OK with Firefox but not with Internet Explorer! No window
comes up asking for the name - just skips this part and sends the form
info by email.
Why should this be?!
Cheers

Because the form is getting submitted before the prompt comes up.

Randy,
I don't think so because it works for me with IE and Mozilla - someone
else does not see the prompt with IE, not even after the form has been
submitted.

Avoid using the onclick handler of a submit element.
Using the onsubmit handler of the form is more reliable.
Neither should be used to obtain more information from the user,
since there's little opportunity to validate the new data.

Thanks Lee, in fact I have gone back to using a simple text box!

Hi,
I'd like to use a button to save and then submit a form. I can set
the onlick of the button to mahButton_click or submit, but I can't
figure out how to do both.
It looks like c# can't call a form's submit. I've found how to post
programatically, but I need to use the form's target attribute so that
the response goes into another frame, and I can't figure out how to do
that programatically.

I've been trying all morning to cancel a form submit to the server.
I have a JavaScript Object that determines whether or not the page should be submitted to the server depending on whether the user clicks "yes" or "no".
This Object is attached to various HTML elements on the page (buttons, selects etc) and traps any events that they raise that cause the page to submit.
If the user has not responded, the Object should cancel the page...
