problem with code!

Re-JeeP

Why don't this code work?
The site just upload it self.

<?php

echo '

<form name="my_form" method="post">

<input type="text" name="text" value="'.$_POST['text'].'">

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="sök">

</form>

';

if(isset($_POST['submit']))

{

?>

<script type="text/javascript">

top.av.itag.q.value = document.my_form.text.value;

top.av.itag.submit().

</script>

<?php

}

?>

First of all, your form tag doesn't have an action attribute. You need to tell it to send the form to itself.

But even if you do this, the script won't work. When the form submits, it refreshes the page, clearing all of the form values. Thus, the PHP-produced JavaScript wont work since none of those elements will contain values. This is not to mention that the JavaScript you have there doesn't follow the DOM.

Your PHP needs to reprint the values into the form.

I would suggest spending a lot of time learning the JavaScript DOM, it will help you make better code. Also, always try and fool around with your PHP as much as you can. The more you try and the more you mess up, the more you will learn!

Okey!
I don't understand why I need an action atribute in my form?
Shoulden't it work anyway (if the other parts of the code was right)?

Can somebody please give me some examplecode that would work with this for me to try and experimente with?

And what is "JavaScript DOM"? I of course now what JavaScript is but what does the DOM means?
