javascript working on mozilla firefox but not on IE 6 - Page 2

41 New Member

Hi,

I have the following script

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 function submitForm1()

{

   document.forms[0].action="SearchRecords";

   document.forms[0].submit();

}

[HTML]<select name="l" onchange="submi tForm1();">[/HTML]

This script is working on firefox but not in IE6.
Can anybody tell me why this is happening and the alternative solution to perform the same function.

Thanks

There is nothing wrong with the original code, even if IE6 is being used. There can be error in the code above these two statements:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
document.forms[0].action="SearchRecords";

document.forms[0].submit();

which is causing the form not to submit. Try using alert functions to debug the statements above the form submission code

Hi,
I have tried both of the following

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 function submitForm1()

{

alert("hvgfjh");

   document.forms[0].action="SearchRecords";

   document.forms[0].submit();

}

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 function submitForm1()

{

   document.forms[0].action="SearchRecords";

alert("hvgfjh");

   document.forms[0].submit();

}

In IE6
In first one the alert box works but in second no alert box appears.
In IE7
But both are working on IE7

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry for the previous post.
Please ignore the previous reply because it works for both radiobutton and dropdown in IE 7 but not with IE 6.

In IE 6
In submitForm1() if I use alert before document.forms[0].action="Search Records"; then it only shows the alert box but do not submit the form to SearchRecords servlet and if i use it after document.forms[0].action="Search Records"; it neither shows alert box now submits the form to SearchRecords servlet.

Hi,
Thax for ur consideration. but I think the code in original post is sufficient to find the error.

No it wasn't. I've spotted the error by looking at your full code.

You've named your submit button "action" which is causing problems when setting the action property. Rename it to something else, even 'action1' will do.

Hi,

The same situation even after changing the name of button.
When I change the dropdown list value the page shows an error on left bottom side of Browser and shows that "Object doesn't support this property or method" for document.forms[0].action="Search Records".

Thanks

Now you don't have that submit button named "action" anymore, so it doesn't 'think' that the action object is being set to "SearchReco rds" anymore.

It also shows a Browser warning on bottom left corner Object doesn't support Line 13(i.e.document .forms[0].action="Search Records";)

Thanks
