Hello,
I need to modify the following code to make it work with Firefox. It works perfectly well with IE.
It seems to me that with Firefox all the form values are lost when the onUnload fires up. -
-
<body onUnload="unlockrecords();" >
-
<script language="javascript">
-
function unlockrecords()
-
{
-
// action is variable during the execution of the program
-
document.editreport.action="unlock.php";
-
document.editreport.submit();
-
}
-
</script>
-
<form name="editreport" method="post" target="savereport" onSubmit="window.open('', this.target,'scrollbars=no, status=no, toolbar=no, resizable=no, width=500, height=500, left=0,top=0');" >
-
....
-
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Firefox will not submit the form.
Thank you for your help

hi ...
use the unbeforeunload-event instead ...
kind regards
Thank you, but...
I'm already using the onbeforeunload event, if the user decides to stay on the page then I will not unlock the records: -
-
<body onUnload="unlockrecord();" onbeforeunload="setmess();">
-
<script language="javascript">
-
function unlockrecord()
-
{
-
window.onbeforeunload = null;
-
window.onunload = null;
-
document.editreport.action="unblock.php";
-
document.editreport.submit();
-
}
-
function setmess()
-
{
-
window.onbeforeunload = validate_exit;
-
}
-
-
function validate_exit()
-
{
-
mess = "You will lose the information!";
-
return mess;
-
}
-
</script>
-
<form name="editreport" method="post" target="savereport" onSubmit="window.open('', this.target,'scrollbars=no, status=no, toolbar=no, resizable=no, width=5, height=5, left=0,top=0');" >
-
...
How do I submit the form only when they click OK on the onbeforeunload?
Thanks!

then i think the only way would be to check whether the user has submitted the form already or not ... and force him to do so explicitly before leaving the page ...
kind regards
