Hi... here are the code...

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">function checkChecked() {
var len = del_frm.elements.length; var index=0;
for(index=0;index<len;index++)
{ if(del_frm.elements[index].name=='select_file')
{ if(del_frm.elements[index].checked==true)
{ confirmSubmit(); return true;
}} }
alert("Please select a file/folder to delete"); location.href="webfolder.cgi";
return true;}

<form name="del_frm" id="del_frm" action="webfolder2.cgi" onsubmit="return checkChecked()" method=post>
<input type="checkbox" name="select_file" value="example" id="checkbox">
</form>


This checkChecked() js function works well with ie6.. when i try to do it with mozilla 1.0.1 it does not work..
looking at the javascript console:
Error : del_frm is not defined

Any idea?

Might not be a solution but this:
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
is supposed to be:
<script type="text/javascript">

hi ... the problem is the reference you use for the form, that is ie-way ... you should always prefer the standard w3c-way to refer to nodes in the document, so try the following:

function checkChecked() {
    // at first include this statement in your script that
    // refers the form the standard-compliant way
 
    var del_frm = document.getElementById('del_frm');
 
    // ... your code here
}
 

hope this helps ;) and
kind regards ...

I got another weird question...

when i create a textarea like the code below,

<textarea rows="5" cols="19" readonly style="color:red;">C:$ls_dir</textarea>


ie6 gives me a text area with vertical scroll bar while mozilla give me a horizontal scroll bar. Any way to fix it? Thank!

Hi.. How do you do that? can provide me an example?

Thanks!

using your example:

<textarea rows="5" cols="19" readonly style="color:red; overflow:auto;">C:$ls_dir</textarea>

Hi thanks for the help. but that doesnt work..

I want the textarea to have only vertical scroll bar only for all browser.

Tried overflow-y:scroll; overflow-x:hidden..

Ie6 works fine but mozilla shows horizontal scroll bar...
