Weird Results

[loureiro]

Hi,

I know this is a PHP forum however I'm having problems with my javascript. It works fine in NS but it doesnt work at all in IE. Here is what my call looks like:

<form name="addcustomer" method="post" action="" onSubmit="return validateAddCustomer(addcustomer.principleFirstName,addcustomer.principleLastName,addcustomer.principleEmail,addcustomer.secondaryFirstName,addcustomer.secondaryLastName,addcustomer.secondaryEmail,addcustomer.street,addcustomer.city,addcustomer.province,addcustomer.postal,addcustomer.homePhone,addcustomer.numOfChildren);">

now i know its a problem with the call cause it works fine in netscape...it could also be a problem in the way i call my javascript page, as follows:

<script src="java/main.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

any help would be much appreciated!

The most obvious comment anyone would make is why pass through all those variables?

Why not just explicitly code them into your function. Your function doesn't appear to be something which will be reused in all types of situations, so hardcoding is ok.

to reference a form variable I use code like:

function validateform()
{
  var frm;
  frm = document.myForm;
  if (frm.name.value == '') alert('enter a name');
  // and so on
}

hope this helps. I don't know for sure if this is the problem but it IS a weakness in your code.

cross browser issues are a fact of life with javascript

An even more obvious comment would be: "Why not ask Javascript questions in a Javascript forum?" Now, wouldn't that make sense?

Aaaah, be gentle. loureiro isn't some first time poster but a loyal forum member. I'm sure s/he is aware that the quality of the answer will be less than in a dedicated forum.

For what it's worth here is a javascript forum...
