I have a couple of forms that are misbehaving in FireFox, but work fine in IE.
when i do submit( with submit button) a javascript function validates all of the fields entered, and stops the submission if there is an error.
Sample (obviously not working code):
[HTML] <html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function Submit()
{
// do something, like form field validation before submitting
return true;
} else {
return false; // do nothing, do not submit the form
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myForm" action="form.cg i" onSubmit="retur n Submit()>
Some form fields here<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" >
</form>
</body>
</html>
[/HTML]
THE PROBLEM:
In IE, the script performs as expected.
In FireFox (tested in v2.0.0.3):
* if the form validates correctly, it gets submitted twice:
* if the form doesn't validate then nothing happen.
Am I coding something wrong here? Why is FireFox submitting the form two times..

I'm not a FireFox guru and am just trying my luck here,
What happens if you call the function onClick of the submit button rather than onSubmit of the form?
try to change the function name
try to change the function name
Of course. That should be it.
i tried to use onclick and the results are same.
btw, onclick event will take care of only mouse click.
but i need to make it generic,
I want to use all three cases.
a) submitting page by enter.
b) submitting page by click
c) submitting page by space when control is on submit button,
i have tried with changing function but no luck.
is there any other way, i can look on.
Thanks

Can you post the code you have now with the function name changed
Firefox automaticqally follows the submit standard function after an event has occured when using a submit button...if you change the button type to button instead of submit and change the function name it will work normally. Unfortunatley you loose some of the other funtionality options you want but give a little to get a little. Sorry

i found the solution afterall :)
the page was being loaded with GET method and issue was -- " mismatching of character encoding" ( hence GET was being executed Twice )
i used Central European ISO-8859-2 and everything is working fine
refer the below link for more details .. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewto...859258#2859258

I'm still getting the problem. I've checked and set the charset encoding on the response header but with no luck [UTF-8]. FF still issues a Post and then a Get. Could someone please detail out how the solution is working for them.
One thing to note is that I use javascript to submit my form onchange of a text field. That should not make a difference.
The page meta tags -
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="nocach e"/>
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="privat e"/>
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="proxy-revalidate"/>
Note I tried with the following as well -
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache,no-store,max-age=0"/>
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="nocach e"/>
In my servlet I set the following
response.setHea der("Pragma", "No-cache");
response.setHea der("Cache-Control", "no-cache,no-store,max-age=0");
response.setHea der("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=UTF-8");
response.setDat eHeader("Expire s", 1);
Am I doing something wrong here?

What's the character encoding in your browser?

First a basic outline of what I am trying to do:
I want to have a page spawn a pop-up when you click "submit" on its
form. On this pop-up page there will be another form. When you click
"submit" on the pop-up's form I want the pop-up to close & a new page
to load in the "parent" window/page. I have this working in IE but
cannot get it to work in Firefox. The parent window correctly loads
the new page after submitting from the pop-up,...

I've got a form inside a PHP script that posts to itself, does some
processing on the PHP side, and if it looks good, PHP sends a HEADER
command that redirects the user out. All was fine until I added a
button disabler onSubmit to keep users from submitting twice. Now the
form disables the button as requested but just refreshes the page... it
doesn't get to the HEADER command.
Any idea what the problem might be?

The doPostBack javascript functioning is not submitting the page when called by linkbuttons (or an
autopostback checkbox, for that matter).
I'm aware of a problem with Netscape browsers and the postback code, but I have a workaround for
that installed (and it looks like the code generated by ASP.NET when it renders the page does the
same thing, namely, setting document<). However, the
problem still exists under firefox.

Hi all,
I've stumbled on an interesting problem with the way Firefox handles
form submitting with the enter key.
I'm putting together a page that has one form element with multiple
controls with their own textbox field and submit imagebuttons. I've
set up each control in an asp:Panel with their DefaultButton property
set to the proper button, so when the enter key is pressed, the proper

Hi All,
Im my c# web project, users click a submit button for credit card payment
process.
On the web server side ( on ButtonClick_Event) the user's input(name,date,cc
number etc.) is processed and some transactional database processes are
taken based on the inputs.
My problem is, users may think that the button click did not work, so they
can click it again and again or they can refresh the all page by pressing

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
