php/javascript browser compatability

[guicmc]

I posted here last week about a problem I was having incorporating javascript into a form within a php loop.
I have a for loop that creates multiple forms where each form looks like this:

<form name='f1' method='get' action='order.php?username=nhorton'>
<input type='checkbox' name='split' value='checked' onClick="javascript:window.location.href('order.php?username=<? echo "$username"; ?>>
</form>

I wanted to use the onClick tag to make clicking the checkbox go to a link. The above code was suggested and happily works, but apparently only on some browsers. It did nothing on navigator, safari, and a version of IE(i think something more recent than the following version), but worked on IE version 6.0.2800.1106 Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this compatability problem and how to solve it?thanks

Ive had similar trouble with this in the past. Seems some browers (well at the time) had trouble with inline javascript. To solve the problem I created a javascript function and called to that onClick, passing the value needed to that function. Solved my problems in the past and have been using that method since. Although, I know inline script is used alot now, so I don't see what the problem can be except in your code above, you are missing a closing ') in your onClick event.

i use window.location('file.php');

or
try:
javascript:window.location('order.php?username=<? echo "$username"; ?>');>

you forgot to close the javascript tag

you left off ');>

ie is bit more forgiving then other browser.

[font=courier]location[/font] is a property, not a method. Also, the [font=courier]javascript:[/font] pseudo-protocol is not ever needed, and should not be used, except for bookmarks.

window.location = 'order.php?username<?php echo $username; ?>';

Why do you have the form action set to order.php?username=nhorton&#8230;?
