Form Field In Appendchild Not Posting In Firefox / Solution For This?
Jul 14, 2011
I have an appendchild script that adds an <input> element when a current one is clicked. It then gets posted by a PHP script. Everything works perfectly in IE, but in Firefox, nothing gets posted.code...
I spent several hours struggling with dynamic form fields added with appendChild or innerHTML not POSTing on submit in Firefox. The only way I found to make it work is to append any created fields to a DIV within the form. Code:
I need to add an input hidden field to an existing form (post).
I have tried a couple things like adding the '<INPUT type=hidden name=idSelectedURL value=http://server/documents>' to the innerHTML of the form but it fails. ie
also, trying to add an element to the form such as: var frm = document.getElementById("idForm"); var oField = frm.createElement ('input'); oField.type ="hidden"; oField.name = "idSelectedURL"; oField.value ="http://server/documents";
none of these work and give me a javascript error.
I don't think the createElement method can be used from the form object, only from the document object. still could not get it working.
I have 2 list boxes - one to fill the second one based on the selection, or move all items. You can remove the selection (or all items) from the second one to place it back in the first one. I expanded my horizons and thought to use script based on the js node operation appendChild(). It seemed so clean and easy to follow. Works beautifully in IE, but Firefox sees the value for a nanosecond but doesn't put it in the box. This is the relevant js:
function addSide(){ var addIndex = document.forms[0].sides.selectedIndex;
if (addIndex >= 0) { document.forms[0].selectedSides.appendChild(document.forms[0].sides.options(addIndex)); }}
function delSide(){ var selIndex = document.forms[0].selectedSides.selectedIndex; if (selIndex >= 0) { document.forms[0].sides.appendChild(document.forms[0].selectedSides.options(selIndex)) }}
function addAll(){ var len = document.forms[0].sides.length -1; for(i=len; i>=0; i--){ document.forms[0].selectedSides.appendChild(document.forms[0].sides(i)); }}
function delAll(){ var len = document.forms[0].selectedSides.length -1; for(i=len; i>=0; i--){ document.forms[0].sides.appendChild(document.forms[0].selectedSides(i)); }}
Is there a way to make it work for FF, or do I need to just start over and not use appendChild()? Is there a better way?
I have a javascript running on my site at that disables right clicking (viewing source, saving pictures, etc.) that works beautifully in IE...but not in Firefox. Does anyone know of a solution?
On my page I have a jQuery modal dialog. It contains a checkbox associated with a product being shown in the dialog. Checking the checkbox is supposed to post the product's title to the server (using $.post). During my tests, I opened the dialog for different products, checked the checkbox and quickly pressed Esc key to close the dialog and move on to another product. What I've noticed is that if current product title to be posted is different from one sent just prior to it, things get posted quickly and without a loss. However, if I am sending the same data as what was sent with a previous request, this data doesn't make it to the server if I do this quickly -- I consistently lose data. But if I allow a couple of seconds to pass before pressing Esc key, the data (duplicate data) gets delivered fine.This happens only in Firefox (I've tried this in v. 3.6). IE 8 and Chrome 4.0.249.89 beta (38071) (it was supposed to be 5.x, though) behave as expected -- post data without delay or concern with duplicate data.
My first day with jquery, and I've just been playing around a little but have run in to a problem in Firefox.
I've set up a basic form with a name and a button (not submit) and one text field.
All it does right now is open an alert box when the button is clicked. That's fair enough. However, in Firefox, if I have the text field selected and hit enter, it doesn't press the button.
How would I go about making sure the enter key presses the button? I'd like to avoid using onclick and a method in the form if possible. My aim eventually is to post data and return it without a page refresh instead of create an alert box.
I have a simple two frame page (top and bottom; parent called index). and I am trying to dynamically create forms in the bottom frame when buttons are clicked on the top page. But I keep getting an error in the line labelled * below inside addBlock1(). Here is my code (which is in top.html): Code:
Posting this in javascript because the problem might be caused by my scripting.
I made a 3 page long form using javascript, and the contents of the second page aren't submitted to the php script. link (http://rolstoel.dlnet.org/toevoegen.php?page=1)
I have a webpage with a form inside it. Below the form is a div. When you submit the form it executes some javascript that adds a bunch of html to the div. I can step through the code in the Chrome debugger and see my dom changes are there, but disappear as I get to the original tags in the page. Is there anyway to prevent this?
I have a table with dynamic html that contains drop down select lists and readonly text boxes. Dynamic calculations are done on change of a value in one of the drop down select lists.
For my first iteration the script works fine ( indicating that there are 33 form variables ). When trying another dropdown select value, the form elements.length is shown as 33 ( as about ) BUT the script then crashes with a 'null value' error. I cannot access any of the form variables - this works in all other browsers and platforms.
I have a form and select menus. I am posting it ajax post method and loading the same page with load method as you see in codes. There is a random number genarator. I want to change this random number once a click submit. If i do not load the same page this number does not change. Therefore I use both post and load methods like in demo. However when i do like this there is a problem which is random number have been generated twice somtimes. If you click submit button successively you will see that the number on left top corner sometimes changes twice a click. Why it is so and how can i correct it.
From the user input I want to be able to take each of the text fields and format them into a table on the resumeProcessor.html. I however am unable to figure out how to call the values into my code.
I am making a small image annotation tool for research purpose. I have many images shown to a <user> and the person has to click on the image to enter further information about the image.
I would like to POST information about the <user> which is same for all images and also some fields containing the image information to php page containing next level of processing (the page is again same for all image and takes the user and image information as POSTed information).
So I was wondering if there could be a javascript function which i can put like onclick=submitform(imgname, imgA etc.) which submits a FORM with user information (same for all images hence not passed) and image information (strings containing info abt the images e.g. name, quality rating etc.) fields to another php page.
I could put forms for each image but I am dealing with hundreds of images here.
I have a form that would create a post -- everything looks great but my method is post(which is what I want). When I click the submit button, I want to check the form then post, if all fields are cleared for take off. If I have <input type="submit" then regardless of the outcome of my jscript, the form calls the php script that i have listed but if I have <input type="button" then after the script is run and confirms the fields for me, the post doesn't take. Basically, I think what I have to do here is POST with my jscript but I can't seem to figure out how. Am I way off base here or what?
The following posts back properlty from an "onclick" in IE, but not in Mozilla 1.7. Can anyone explain to me why not? The style class works the same in both environments.
I have a switch/case statement, and when a case is tripped, I'd like to send a name and value to a processing page. I'm very new at jQuery with no javaScript background.
I'm trying to create a search form that will post to one of two different URLs (one internal, one external) depending on the selection of a particular field. For some reason, I've never quite got the grasp of javascript ...Basically, the form has two fields. One is the <input='text'> search field, the second would be a <select> field to indicate the type of search to be made (long story, won't go into details here).So let's say the select field name is 'searchType' and the option values are simply '1' and '2'. here's my miserable failed attempt that I reckon is on the right track but with many errors:
Code:
function checkSelect() { var $internal = 'action="http://www.internalsite.com"'; var $external = 'action="http://www.externalsite.com"';
[code].....
Then in the <form>, I just do an onSubmit="checkSelect()" ?
I have not been codeing for too long. The form submits correctly when the button is pressed bu wheni click enter on keyboard it gives a page not foud error
here is the code
function ByPartNo(){ var strTest = document.form1.search_criteria.value; if (strTest){ document.form1.action="result_details_by_part_no.asp?mSKU="+ strTest
