Submit form works in IE - But Not FireFox.

jexx

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function submitform(){
formget(aForm, 'do.php');
}
</script>

<body>
<?
if (!empty($_REQUEST['user'])) {
	$user = $_REQUEST['user'];
	$user=str_replace("/","",$user);
	echo "<body onload='javascript:submitform()'>";
}

Basically if 'http://127.0.0.1/go.php?user=jon' then the form should automatically be submitted.

If no 'user' variable is set on the url then load the full form..

This works in IE, but not in Firefox.. any ideas ??
In Firefox nothing seems to happen !!

Thanks 🙂

Does help if you include all the code !!:o

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var divid = 'output';
var loadingmessage = '<b><font color="RED">Processing...</font></b>';
function AJAX(){
var xmlHttp;
try{
xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); // Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
return xmlHttp;
}
catch (e){
try{
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); // Internet Explorer
return xmlHttp;
}
catch (e){
try{
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
return xmlHttp;
}
catch (e){
alert("Your browser does not support AJAX!");
return false;
}
}
}
}
function formget(f, url) {
var poststr = getFormValues(f);
postData(url, poststr);
}
function postData(url, parameters){
var xmlHttp = AJAX();
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange =  function(){
if(xmlHttp.readyState > 0 && xmlHttp.readyState < 4){
document.getElementById(divid).innerHTML=loadingmessage;
}
if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4) {

document.getElementById(divid).innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText;
}
}

xmlHttp.open("POST", url, true);
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-length", parameters.length);
xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
xmlHttp.send(parameters);
}

function getFormValues(fobj)

{
var str = "";
var valueArr = null;
var val = "";
var cmd = "";

for(var i = 0;i < fobj.elements.length;i++)

{
switch(fobj.elements[i].type)

{

case "select-one":

str += fobj.elements[i].name +
"=" + fobj.elements[i].options[fobj.elements[i].selectedIndex].value + "&amp;amp;";
break;

}
}

str = str.substr(0,(str.length - 1));
return str;

}

//--></script>

Having two <body> tags doesn't look like a great idea.

Thanks..

I had spotted that.. still having the same issue !

Any ideas ?

Cheers

formget(aForm, 'do.php');

Where do you define the aForm variable?

And what does Firefox's error console tell you?

Also, if you want anyone to actually do more than casually glance at your code, indent it and wrap it in appropriate code/html/php tags.

aForm is the form name/id.

Any help is gratefully received !

Which answers neither of my questions.
