JavaScript - Doctype Causes Form To Fail
Greetings,
I had to add the following DOCTYPE to a webpage in order for IE to parse my page design properly, and this caused the form on the page to fail in FireFox (which works fine without the doctype). The form works fine in IE. Here is the DOCTYPE I added to the top of the page; <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> The error log in FireFox says; frmTest is not defined - Line 30 Here is the block of code it is referring to; function MoveForward(ipage) { if(TestAnswers()) { frmTest.action.value = 'next'; frmTest.p.value = ipage; frmTest.submit(); frmTest.cmdNext.disabled = true; try { frmTest.cmdBack.disabled = true; } catch(err) { } } } Line 30 is: if(TestAnswers()) The opening form code further down the page is; <form action="stress_test.asp" method="post" name="frmTest" id="frmTest"> I have been up against this for a couple days, any help would be very (very) appreciated. Regards, Ross Similar TutorialsHi, I have been attempting to transition to use of xhtml strict doctype and my text editor, BBEdit (on Mac) tells me, when I ask it to check syntax, that the attribute 'name' is not allowed in form object, as in any other form element that I tried to use it in. This begs the question, how do I script forms with javascript in the context of this doctype? None of the javascript texts I have address this issue (O'Reilly Rhino book and others). I could figure it out, but it appears to be a complicated process, just doing getElementById() and sorting it out. Does anyone have a reference to material that deals with this issue? Or do I just abandon xhtml strict doctypes? Thanks for time and attention JK You know the deal: you have something (tooltip-like) that pops up on mouseover and disappears again on mouseout. But sometimes, the mouse moves too fast (speedy Gonzalez?), and the event doesn't get trapped. So your tooltip thingy stays popped, and doesn't go away till another mouseover-mouseout happens. Any suggestions for avoiding this scenario?
I try to auto scroll to bottom of a div when the page is loaded. It works on firefox but it is not working on IE. How to scroll to bottom on a div when page is loaded on IE? You can test it by copy paste my codes into two html files. test5.html : Code: <div id='div' style='overflow:scroll; height:300px; width:200px; border:1px solid blue; background:yellow;'> </div> <script src="javascripts/jquery-1.5.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function showrsp(){ jQuery.get("test5a.html", function(data) { $('#div').append(data); $(document).ready(function(){asd();}); }); }; function asd(){ $('#div').scrollTop($('#div')[0].scrollHeight); } showrsp(); </script> test5a.html : Code: <p>asdasdas</p> <p>asdasdas</p><p>asdasdas</p><p>asdasdas</p><img src="http://2aek.com/inventory/emoticons2/69.gif" border="0" /> <p>asdasdas</p><p>asdasdas</p><p>asdasdas</p><img src="http://2aek.com/inventory/emoticons2/69.gif" border="0" /> <p>asdasdas</p><p>asdasdas</p><p>asdasdas</p><img src="http://2aek.com/inventory/emoticons2/69.gif" border="0" /> <img src="http://2aek.com/inventory/emoticons2/69.gif" border="0" /><img src="http://2aek.com/inventory/emoticons2/69.gif" border="0" /> <img src="http://2aek.com/inventory/emoticons2/69.gif" border="0" /><img src="http://2aek.com/inventory/emoticons2/69.gif" border="0" /> <img src="http://2aek.com/inventory/emoticons2/69.gif" border="0" /><img src="http://2aek.com/inventory/emoticons2/69.gif" border="0" /> <img src="http://2aek.com/inventory/emoticons2/69.gif" border="0" /> <p>asdasdas</p><p>asdasdas</p><p>asdasdas</p> <p>asdasdas</p><p>asdasdas</p><img src="http://2aek.com/inventory/emoticons2/69.gif" border="0" /> <p>asdasdas</p><p>asdasdas</p> <p>asdasdas</p><p>asdasdas</p><img src="http://2aek.com/inventory/emoticons2/69.gif" border="0" /> <p>asdasdas</p><p>asdasdas</p><img src="http://2aek.com/inventory/emoticons2/69.gif" border="0" /> <p>asdasdas</p><p>asdasdas</p><img src="http://2aek.com/inventory/emoticons2/69.gif" border="0" /> <p>asdasdas</p><p>asdasdas</p><img src="http://2aek.com/inventory/emoticons2/69.gif" border="0" /> How to wait until innerHTML finish render the contents before execute function asd()? If you try some codes and then catch exception, it should catch the exception when there is. However, if there is a setInterval method in the try clause, then the exception cannot be caught... why??? the following works ( a usual method is invoked in the try clause): Code: <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function invoke() { var i=0; return i.x.y; } try { alert(invoke()); } catch(ex){ alert(ex); } //Any Exception will be caught. </script> if the highlighted line is changed as below (using setInterval method), then it fails... Code: <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function invoke() { var i=0; return i.x.y; } try { setInterval(alert('invoke())',1000); } catch(ex){ alert(ex); } //The Exception will NOT be caught. </script> any idea? thx in advance I have a JSP page,such as test.jsp Code: <input name="id1" type="text" value="abc" size="40"> Then I want to open it by using Javascript,and alert id1 value,so I use following statements: Code: var s=window.open('test.jsp','mywin'); alert(s.document.id1.value); When I run alert(s.document.id1.value),,it raise javascript error Code: s.document.id1.value undefined I want to know how Javascript can get jsp value by window.open? Thanks Honestly, its probably my fail. Regardless, here is the deal, any help would be appreciated. I am currently skinning up a custom cpanel theme for a company I work with from time to time, kudolabs.net. They would like their Jixed Bar that is on their main web page to be on the skin, and I am attempting to put it there now. I have put the code into the html of the skin, both the call to the proper javascript files and css files, and the proper code for the bar itself. It is not working, the bar shows up as it is supposed to, but it is not aligned correctly and the bar does not float with the page. It acts exactly like the javascript is not working at all.... Unfortunately I can't just provide access to the cpanel for people to check, but you can see the source code of the main page, kudolabs.net, and if you're willing to help, I can of course give you access to a demo account (and quite possibily provide some hosting for a month or two, we're based in the netherlands and have plenty of space to share to anyone willing to help us with little problems such as this. @_@ ) Thank you for your time reading this, any help or points in the right directions would be appreciated. Unfortunately, google has failed me this time. Or, rather, I have failed google. o.o EDIT: Ive actually managed to sort this out. The problem was as simple as the onload in the body tag was overriding the onload script in the header. Combining the two solved the problem. Ive recently been appointed to do some work on my employers website. For now, to hold us over until we can manage a complete re-write, I have been asked to just do a little update to the look and feel. One of the things I have done is use the niftycorners code for rounded divs. I have had no trouble implementing this code over all the site pages, until I got to one page. Our product pages. Ive never seen a code placed directly within the body tag, but this is what has been done here. <BODY onload="pricing_init(); attribute_changed();"> This code loads the dynamic pricing feature. Unfortunately, it also causes the nifty corners code I have placed between the head tags to fail. I dont know if its just the odd placement of the code or the code itself as I am just learning js (using the Javascript and Ajax for dummies book). Is there some way I can alter this so that both the dynamic pricing and nifty corners works? thanks in advance for any suggestions. for an anchor object, it is ok to reference by index. But when referenced by name, it seems unavailable in IE8 (not sure abt other IE version). I tried FF, it works well. So is it an IE bug or something? Code: <a name="thisAnchor">HERE</a> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> alert(document.anchors[0].nodeType) // no problem in IE and FF alert(document.anchors["thisAnchor"].nodeType) // does't work in IE? </script> thx in advance I've cannibalised some code from the jQuery supersized plugin that scales images to full screen size while retaining aspect ratio. However, I seem to be getting it wrong, and my maths is... well, appalling. The problem is that while it's resizing correctly to fit the width OR the height, it's not fitting the width AND the height. That is: If I adjust the window height, the image scales to fit the height, but goes outside the window width. If I adjust the window width, the image scales to fit the width, but goes outside the window height. If I adjust both (dragging the window corner) it seems to favour fitting the width. I am currently using only landscape images. I don't know if that has a bearing. This may well just be a logic issue, but my brain is just turning to jelly when I look at my code below: Code: var image_ratio = options.image_dimensions.height / options.image_dimensions.width; var browser_ratio = browser_height / browser_width; if (browser_ratio > image_ratio){ var target_height = browser_height; var target_width = Math.floor(browser_height / image_ratio); } else { var target_width = browser_width; var target_height = Math.floor(browser_width * image_ratio); } The code above works out some new image dimensions and is called when the browser is resized. The options.image_dimensions.height and options.image_dimensions.width variables represent the original dimensions of the image, and browser_height and browser_width are calculated from the window size. How can I make it fit either landscape or portrait images to the smallest available dimension of the browser? I have placed the <script></script> in the <head></head> tags and the page will not work. But placing the <script> below the element that the JS works with allows the page to work but thought the correct method to use was place all JS functions inside the <head> tags? here is a link to the folder I am testing this out on. http://www.realistichostings.com/test_booking/ I have named the two files accordingly, test_booking_page-script is in head tags.php test_booking_page-script is outside head tags.php can anyone tell me why the code works outside the head tag but not when i is inside the head tag ? Hey, might be a stupid question, but which is the best DOCTYPE to use with JavaScript? Just validating now and its telling me that the<body onLoad="startclock()"> onLoad attribute is not supported.... Anyone understand what it's asking me to do? Thanks I was roughing out a feature I want to add to my site in notepad with no doctype declared. I got it just how I wanted, then realized it didn't work in IE. I added a doctype, it validates at xhtml strict, but it killed IE, while it started adding round corners in IE which wasn't working with no doctype...but now my JS isn't working... So I lost functionality of the JS while adding the round corner style that wasnt working when the JS was mostly working... FF works fine every damn way of course.... I uploaded it to http://pugetsoundtraining.com/Portfolio/spriteTest.html Also when it was functioning, the lower set of icons background wasn't showing. You can load that link ^^ in FF to see exactly what I'm going for....it works in ff css: Code: body { margin: 0px; font-family: "Georgia", serif; } /* Give headings their own font */ h1, h2, h3, h4 { font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;

So I'm just going to put it here and the mods can move it if needed. So I had this script working for auto width of a DIV, then I added DOCTYPE to the top of my document, now it won't change the width ha ha. I have tried with all DOCTYPE's and same thing. The JS I am using is: Code: window.onload=function(){ document.getElementById("right").style.width= + screen.width - 193; } As I said this worked before I added DOCTYPE to the top of the HTML. But when I add any one of the DOCTYPES it stops working. Any ideas? This <div> layer positioned always at bottom left of the screen on scrolling (and calling some code from labpixies) works well in non-ie browsers, but in ie it requires the omission of the doctype declaration. Why? Is it possible to fix it so that it works with the doctype in ie? Code: <!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <div id="master" style="position: absolute; left: -120px; top: 11px; width: 350px; height: 0px"> <div id="menu" style="position: absolute; left: 117px; top: 12px"> <table border="0" width="18" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"> <a href="javascript:expand();" onfocus="this.blur()"> <img name="menutop" border="0" src="images/translate.gif" width="23" height="152"></a></td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="screen" style="position: absolute; left: -138px; top: 12px; "> <table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="margin:0px; padding:0px; border:1px solid #000000;"> <tr> <td style="padding-left:0px; height:0px; line-height:15px; background-color:#000000;"> <a href="http://www.labpixies.com" style="font-family: Arial,Verdana; font-size:12px; font-weight:bold; text-align:left; text-decoration:none; color:#ffffff;"> Gadget by LabPixies.com</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <iframe allowtransparency="true" align="top" scrolling="no" width="256" height="135" frameborder="0" src="http://cdn.labpixies.com/campaigns/babylon/babylon.html" target="_self"> </iframe></td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var sidemenu = document.getElementById('master'); function FixY() { screenWidth = screen.width; if (screenWidth == 1024) { var yside = 390; } else if (screenWidth == 1152) { var yside = 400; } else if (screenWidth == 1280) { var yside = 400; } else { var yside = 450; } if(document.body.scrollTop != "undefined") sidemenu.style.top = document.body.scrollTop+yside+'px'; else sidemenu.style.top = window.pageYOffset+yside+'px'; } setInterval("FixY()",100); </script> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </body> </html> This is a problem that i have googled for hours and can't find an answer so i resort to asking on here because i found similar question on here. I have a page i use, It has an iframe on it but it is not regular iframe, The iframe has a resizing script that resizes the height of the iframe to the height of the page being viewed. Using this script it eliminates scrolling! This has all been working out great but then i realise for it to function properly in IE i need to add a doctype, When i add a doctype to it it functions properly in IE but it doesn't work in firefox. In firefox the frame doesnt resize and it is like 50px height. I have tried a bunch of different doctypes and they don't work. This is the problem page (with doctype - works properly only on IE): http://ww-chat.com/games.php This is the page without a doctype (Works properly only on FIREFOX - not IE): http://ww-chat.com/games-nodoctype.php This is the code that i use for the iframe: Quote: <iframe id="games" name="games" src="http://ww-chat.com/games/" frameborder=0 scrolling=no width="990" onload="if (window.parent && window.parent.autoIframe) {window.parent.autoIframe('games');}"></iframe> This is the script that it uses to resize the frame: http://ww-chat.com/iframeresize.js I have other iframes on my website which don't use the resize script and they work perfectly fine (with doctype!). Thanks, Worldwideebm All, So I have the following code. It works great. When I add this: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> It doesn't work. I need it for some aspects of my CSS to work.

Question 1 How can I make this piece of script act a little smarter. Look at the order form, I'm catering for up to 4 people and providing lunch for them. If they select 3 people and the spaghetti bol for lunch, it's only adding $10 where it should be adding $30. Obviously this is simple multiplication but since the values in my form are prices it makes it a little tricky. I'm guessing an onselect on the first part of the form which changes the pricing of the other items would be the way to go, but how do I do this? Question 2 The "Total Price" is placed before the <form> tag by the script. This is ok but it's not where I want it. How can I position this text elsewhere in the document? Thanks in advance! I've literally tried everything. Read 26 tutorials, interchanged code, etc. My validation functions all work. My AJAX functions work (tested manually using servlet URL's). The second servlet validates the reCaptcha form that's generated on my webpage. After the form is validated, even if everything's correct, nothing happens upon clicking submit. I even have an alert pop up if with the captcha result, just for middle-layer debugging purposes. I want to do all of my validation clientside; none serverside. However, going to be tough if I can't get my god damn form to submit. I've been puzzled by this for close to 36 hours straight. I can't see, and I'm going to get some rest and hope that there is some useful insight on my problem when I return. html form: Code: <form id="f1" name="form1" onsubmit="validate_form(this); return false;" action="register" method="post"> <table cellspacing="5" style="border: 2px solid black;"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <table cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td>*First name</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_one"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="fn" name="fn" onBlur="validate_one();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Last name</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_two"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="ln" name="ln" onBlur="validate_two();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Email address</td> <td align="right"><span id="result"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="mailfield" name="email" onBlur="startRequest();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Phone number</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_three"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="pn" name="pn" onBlur="validate_three();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*City/Town</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_four"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="c" name="c" onBlur="validate_four();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td> <select name="s"> <option value="AL">Alabama <option value="AK">Alaska <option value="AZ">Arizona <option value="AR">Arkansas <option value="CA">California <option value="CO">Colorado <option value="CT">Connecticut <option value="DE">Delaware <option value="FL">Florida <option value="GA">Georgia <option value="HI">Hawaii <option value="ID">Idaho <option value="IL">Illinois <option value="IN">Indiana <option value="IA">Iowa <option value="KS">Kansas <option value="KY">Kentucky <option value="LA">Louisiana <option value="ME">Maine <option value="MD">Maryland <option value="MA">Massachusetts <option value="MI">Michigan <option value="MN">Minnesota <option value="MS">Mississippi <option value="MO">Missouri <option value="MT">Montana <option value="NE">Nebraska <option value="NV">Nevada <option value="NH">New Hampshire <option value="NJ">New Jersey <option value="NM">New Mexico <option value="NY">New York <option value="MC">North Carolina <option value="ND">North Dakota <option value="OH">Ohio <option value="OK">Oklahoma <option value="OR">Oregon <option value="PA">Pennsylvania <option value="RI">Rhode Island <option value="SC">South Carolina <option value="SD">South Dakota <option value="TN">Tennessee <option value="TX">Texas <option value="UT">Utah <option value="VT">Vermont <option value="VA">Virginia <option value="WA">Washington <option value="WV">West Virginia <option value="WI">Wisconsin <option value="WY">Wyoming </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td><span id="error"></span></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">*Anti-Spam Verification</td> <td></td> <td id="reCaptcha"></td> </tr> </table> </td> <td valign="top"> <table cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td align="left">*Affiliation</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_five"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="affl" name="affl" onBlur="validate_five();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Research Area:</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_six"></span></td> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" id="ra" name="ra" onBlur="validate_six();"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="left">*Research Overview</td> <td align="right"><span id="valid_seven"></span></td> <td><textarea cols="38" rows="6" id="ro" name="ro" onKeyDown="limitText(this.form.ro,this.form.countdown,500)" onKeyUp="limitText(this.form.ro,this.form.countdown,500)" onBlur="validate_seven();"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> <td><font size="1">You have <input readonly type="text" name="countdown" size="1" value="500"> characters remaining.</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left">*Talk Availability</td> <td></td> <td> <input type="radio" name="ta" value="In person">In person <input type="radio" name="ta" value="Online">Online <input type="radio" name="ta" value="Both" checked>Both </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top">Links</td> <td></td> <td> <table id="linkTable" border="0"> <td><input type="text" style="width: 320px;" name="link"></td> <td><div id="result"></div></td> </table> </td> <td align="left" valign="top"><input type="button" value="Add Link" onclick="addLink('linkTable')"></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><span style="color: red;"></span></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <br /> <input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Form"> </form> Javascript file: Code: /* * script.js - ajax and table functions */ var xmlHttp;
