JavaScript - Form Submits/posts On Firefox, But Not Ie

So, I've designed a basic site and everything is fine except for the posts. You can see the site here.

What I'm talking about is this:

Code:

<div id="posts">
<h1>Bonjour</h1>
<p>Welcome to my website! Please note that it's fairly new, and so it might still go under some construction, so don't expect what you see now to be stay the same forever. Furthermore, if you have any suggestions, please run them by me and I'll take them into consideration.</p>
<p>As of 9/23: Working on Adding Games.</p>
<br>
</div>

The CSS code for it is:
Code:

#posts{text-indent:15px;background-color:#424242;border:3px solid #e0e0e0;position:absolute;left:212px;top:180px;width:565px;}

Now, the post is only one post, and I can't add any more as it is only one div. I was wondering if there was an easy way to make a master, parent div and all the div's inside it would be transformed into div's that are respectively positioned under it, automatically.

^^ Now, I liked that idea at first but then I thought of the technicalities such as having to use HTML to write blog posts which would be kind of ridiculous and I was wondering if anyone knows how of a simple-free easy to integrate blog system which could be embedded into my site without having to re-design everything.

I am trying to make this page work where new posts that get posted to it append smoothly on refresh instead of sliding up and down like they do now. Right now, you hit reply on your post and the entire thing goes up then unfolds again with the new post there, but the place is lost where you were on the paeg and you have to scroll down and I think that is not that user friendly. I want it to just pop or slide down under the existing posts so that the place on the window isn't lost for the user.

The profile page is here. I am talking about the profile threads. It's a little bit like a facebook wall. If you need more info I will try and get it. Thank you in advance!

Hello.
Been searching all night for a way to do this, so thanks in advance for any help forthcoming.
I'd like to be able to create a list of post titles that share the same tag in tumblr (rather than a list of tags).
Tumblr allows you to filter your posts by tag by typing in a url, but this brings up a full page of posts, and I'd just like a list of the titles that I can then use as a menu.

Hope this all makes sense. I'd imagine this is fairly simple as the capability to filter by tag already exists, but I cannot for the life of me work out how to do it.

Thanks again.

Hi all,

At work I have written a form builder which is all drag and drop.

The issue I have is with ending the drop, I have no problems in IE. The drag is controlled by the onmousemove and onmouseup events for the document body.

The trouble is, in Firefox, if the cursor is over a form item, then the onmouseup event doesn't fire and therefore the drag doesn't end.

There is no problem with other items, other HTML items, tables, list, divs, then all bubble the event to the body.

Anyone ever come across this, if so how did you get round it.

Do I need to manually make form elements bubble in Firefox? Maybe I should just stick a div opacity 0 over the drag objects and make that call the body's onmouseup event.

Any thoughts much appreciated,

Cheers,
Dale

I have created some online software which uses form data to submit to another page.

The problem is that I have other submit buttons in the same form which submit to different pages (depending on which button is pressed).

The first submit button works fine but all the others only work once.
Code:

<input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button1' onclick="wbform.action='page1.php'; target='mainFrame'; return true;">
<input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button2' onclick="wbform.action='page2.php'; target='_blank'; return true;">

<input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button3' onclick="wbform.action='page3.php'; target='topFrame'; return true;">
<input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button4' onclick="wbform.action='page4.php'; target='topFrame'; return true;">

<input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button5' onclick="wbform.action='page5.php'; target='_blank'; return true;">
<input class="cssbutton" type='submit' value='Button6' onclick="wbform.action='page6.php'; target='_blank'; return true;">

Any ideas my friends?

Hi coders,

I have a form where customers can register thierselves by entering the relevant fields.

There is a control() javascript which ckecks if everything on the form is ok before submitting it.
Althugh IE applies the script for its every check, Firefox only applies the first check (first if statement) of the script. The rest is ignored.

Here is the javascript code:
Code:

function control() 
{ 
if (document.member.FirstName.value == ""){ 
document.member.FirstName.focus(); 
alert("Please fill the name field"); 
return false; 
} 

if (document.member.FirstName.value.length<2) { 
alert("Name field cannot be shorter than 2 characters."); 
document.member.FirstName.focus(); 
return false; 
} 

if (/[\d]/.test(document.getElementById("FirstName").value)) { 
alert("Entered numbers into the Name field"); 
return false; 
} 

if (document.member.LastName.value == ""){ 
document.member.LastName.focus(); 
alert("Please fill the Lastname field"); 
return false; 
} 

if (document.member.LastName.value.length<2) { 
alert("Lastname field cannot be shorter than 2 charcters. Please check again."); 
document.member.LastName.focus(); 
return false; 
} 

if (/[\d]/.test(document.getElementById("LastName").value)) { 
alert("Entered numbers into the Lastname field"); 
return false; 
} 

if (document.member.Address1.value.length<10) { 
alert("Address field contains less than 2 characters."); 
document.member.Address1.focus(); 
return false; 
} 

if (document.member.Username.value == ""){ 
document.member.Username.focus(); 
alert("Username field cannot be blank"); 
return false; 
} 

if (document.member.Address1.value == ""){ 
document.member.Address1.focus(); 
alert("Address field cannot be blank "); 
return false; 
} 

if (document.member.City.value == ""){ 
document.member.City.focus(); 
alert("City field cannot be blank"); 
return false; 
} 

if (document.member.Email.value == ""){ 
document.member.Email.focus(); 
alert("E-Mail field cannot be blank."); 
return false; 
} 

if (echeck(document.member.Email.value)==false){ 
document.member.Email.focus(); 
return false; 
} 

if (document.member.PhoneNumber.value == ""){ 
document.member.PhoneNumber.focus(); 
alert("Phone number field cannot be blank"); 
return false; 
} 

if (!/^\d*$/.test(document.getElementById("PhoneNumber").value)) { 
alert("Entered characters into the Phone Number field"); 
return false; 
} 

if (document.member.Pass.value == ""){ 
document.member.Pass.focus(); 
alert("Password field cannot be blank."); 
return false; 
} 

if (document.member.Pass2.value == ""){ 
document.member.Pass2.focus(); 
alert("Password confirmation field cannot be blank."); 
return false; 
} 

if (document.forms[0].Pass.value.length<6) { 
alert("Password field cannot contain less than 6 characters. Please check"); 
document.member.Pass.focus(); 
return false; 
} 

if (document.member.Pass.value != document.member.Pass2.value) { 
alert("Password and password confirmation fields are not identical. Please check "); 
document.member.Pass.focus(); 
return false; 
} 


if (!isTelNum(document.forms[0].PhoneNumber,'Telefon ')) return false; 
if (!isNum(document.forms[0].InternalPhoneNumber,'Internal Phone number')) return false; 
//if (!isValidEmail(document.forms[0].Email)) return false; 

return true; 
}

Well its interesting that only the first check is taken into consideration.

if (document.member.FirstName.value == ""){

The rest is not even seen. Even if you do not fill the rest of the form, the submit button tries to submit the form regardless what more needs to be checked.

Here is the submit button:
Code:

<input type="submit" name="member" value="Register Me" id="member" onclick="return control()";>

Any observations and comments are appreciated.

Hello everyone.

I was hoping i could get some help from a php or a javascript pro.

At the moment my site has been set up to load more posts in the same page instead of browsing 1,2,3..20 but there is a bit of a problem.

After a few seconds of browsing a number pops up on my feed and shows the number of posts i have chosen to load in text format. Then all posts get reset back to 90 and i get scrolled back up to the top automatically.

Could you please take a look at this php and javascript code and tell me what the problem is?

$D->num_results = 0;
$D->start_from = 0;
$D->posts_html = '';

if( $q1!='' && $q2!='' ) {
$D->num_results = $db2->fetch_field($q1);
$D->start_from = $this->param('start_from') ? intval($this->param('start_from')) : 0;
$D->start_from = max($D->start_from, 0);
$D->start_from = min($D->start_from, $D->num_results);
$res = $db2->query($q2.'LIMIT '.$D->start_from.', '.$C->PAGING_NUM_POSTS);
$D->posts_number = 0;
ob_start();
while($obj = $db2->fetch_object($res)) {
$D->p = new post($obj->type, FALSE, $obj);
if( $D->p->error ) {
continue;
}
$D->posts_number ++;
$D->p->list_index = $D->posts_number;
$this->load_template('single_post.php');
}
unset($D->p);
$D->posts_html = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

}

if( $this->param('from') == 'ajax' ) {
echo 'OK:'.$D->posts_number.':';
$display
echo $D->posts_html;
die();
}



if( $show=='all' || $show=='@me' || $show=='private' || $show=='commented' || $show=='feeds' ) {
$this->network->reset_dashboard_tabstate($this->user->id, $show);
}

and my javascript

function my_scroll_page_to(h) {
if( document.body.scrollTop === undefined ) {
w.scroll(0, h);
return;
}
var start_scroll = parseInt( typeof(w.pageYOffset)=='number' ? w.pageYOffset : document.body.scrollTop, 10);
if( isNaN( start_scroll ) ) {
w.scroll(0, h);
return;
}
if( start_scroll == h ) {
return;
}
var step = start_scroll>h ? -12 : 12;
var breakf = false;
var func = function() {
start_scroll += step;
w.scroll(0, start_scroll);
if( start_scroll == h ) {
return;
}
if( step > 0 && start_scroll > h ) {
return;
}
if( step < 0 && start_scroll < h ) {
return;
}
if( breakf ) {
return;
}
setTimeout( func, 1 );
}
func();
document.body.addEventListener("orientationchange" , function(){ breakf = true; }, false);
}


function load_more_results(div_id, current_results, all_results) {
current_results = parseInt(current_results, 10);
all_results = parseInt(all_results, 10);
var url = w.location.href.toString();
if( ! url ) { return; }
if( url.substr(0, siteurl.length) == siteurl ) {
url = url.substr(siteurl.length);
if( url.indexOf("#") != -1 ) {
url = url.substr(0, url.indexOf("#"));
}
url = siteurl+url+"/from:ajax/start_from:"+(current_results+1)+"/r:"+Math.round(Math.random()*1000);
}
else {
url = url.replace(/^http(s)?\:\/\//, "");
url = url.substr(url.indexOf("/"));
if( url.indexOf("#") != -1 ) {
url = url.substr(0, url.indexOf("#"));
}
url = siteurl+url+"/from:ajax/r:"+Math.round(Math.random()*1000);
}
var req = ajax_init(false);
if( ! req ) { return false; }
req.onreadystatechange = function() {
if( req.readyState != 4 ) { return; }
var txt = trim(req.responseText);
var num = txt.match(/^OK\[0-9]+)\:/g);
if( ! num ) { return; }
num = num.toString().match(/([0-9]+)/);
num = parseInt(num, 10);
if( ! num ) { return; }
txt = txt.replace(/^OK\[0-9]+)\:/, "");
txt = trim(txt);
var dv = document.createElement("DIV");
dv.innerHTML = txt;
document.getElementById(div_id).appendChild(dv);
setTimeout( function() { my_scroll_page_to(dv.offsetTop-30); }, 5);
if( current_results+num+1 >= all_results ) {
document.getElementById("loadmore").style.display = "block";
}
document.getElementById("loadmorelink").onclick = function() {
load_more_results(div_id, current_results+num+1, all_results);
};
document.getElementById("loadmoreloader").style.di splay = "none";
}
req.open("GET", url, true);
req.send("");
document.getElementById("loadmoreloader").style.di splay = "block";
document.getElementById("loadmorelink").blur();
}

I would really appreciate any with this issue as it makes my site look really ugly and we have a lot of members.

Kind Regards

This post will contain a few guidelines for what you can do to get better help from us. Let's start with the obvious ones:

- Use regular language. A spelling mistake or two isn't anything I'd complain about, but 1337-speak, all-lower-case-with-no-punctuation or huge amounts of run-in text in a single paragraph doesn't make it easier for us to help you.

- Be verbose. We can't look in our crystal bowl and see the problem you have, so describe it in as much detail as possible.

- Cut-and-paste the problem code. Don't retype it into the post, do a cut-and-paste of the actual production code. It's hard to debug code if we can't see it, and this way you make sure any spelling errors or such are caught and no new ones are introduced.

- Post code within code tags, like this [code]your code here[/code]. This will display like so: Code:

alert("This is some JavaScript code!")

- Please, post the relevant code. If the code is large and complex, give us a link so we can see it in action, and just post snippets of it on the boards.

- If the code is on an intranet or otherwise is not openly accessible, put it somewhere where we can access it.

- Tell us any error messages from the JavaScript console in Firefox or Opera. (If you haven't tested it in those browsers, please do!)

- If the code has both HTML/XML and JavaScript components, please show us both and not just part of it.

- If the code has frames, iframes, objects, embeds, popups, XMLHttpRequest or similar components, tell us if you are trying it locally or from a server, and if the code is on the same or different servers.

- We don't want to see the server side code in the form of PHP, PERL, ASP, JSP, ColdFusion or any other server side format. Show us the same code you send the browser. That is, show us the generated code, after the server has done it's thing. Generally, this is the code you see on a view-source in the browser, and specifically NOT the .php or .asp (or whatever) source code.

Hello

I've been struggling trying to get a small order form to work the way I want it to. Here is a link to the live page:
http://www.watphotos.com/introductio...otography.html

And here is the code in question:

Code:

<script src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> 
 $(document).ready(function(){
	var initial	= 0
	var total = 0;
	var services = 0;
	function addServices()
	{
		initial = 150
		total = initial
		services = 0;
		$("input:checked").each(function(){
			value = $(this).attr("value");		
			services += parseInt(value);
		});
	}
	$(function()
	{
		addServices();
		total += services;
		$("form").before('<p class="price"></p>')		
		$("p.price").text("Total Price: US$" + total);
	});
 	$("input:radio, input:checkbox").click(function () {
		addServices();
		total += services
		$("p.price").text("Total Price: US$" + total);
    });
 
 });
 
</script>

I have two questions...

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">

I have a order form page and on submitting it opens a new web page that displays the order totals. Below is my code and most probably wrong but for me it seems logic. Please assist.

Order Form:
Code:

<td colspan="1" height="120" align="left"> 
<select style="margin-left: 60px; background-color: #00FF77;" name="prod_bed_359"  onchange="calculateValue(this.form)">
<option value="0">0</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
<option value="5">5</option>
</select> R359</td></tr>

New page I called a unction to print:
Code:

function itemsOrdered() {
var beds = document.forms[2].prod_bed_359.value;
document.write("<pre><strong>Description\t\tQuantity\tPrice</strong></pre>");
document.write("<pre>Doggie Bed\t\t" + beds + "</pre>");	
}

This is still basic as I need to get this right before adding the prices and totals which is also extracted from the order page.

Hi guys,

Been stuck for a few days with this scenario.
Any help?
The alert box appears on an error.
But the submitting won't stop.
The details are submitted and the form is processed.
Any help is greatly appreciated...

Hi,
I have a working contact form with 3 of the fields requiring validation and they work well.
I have added extra fields to the form (StatusClass, Project, CameFrom). These 3 fields return fine but I need to validated them.
My problem is that the new fields don't show in the behaviours/validate panel even though they are within the form tag.
Can anyone give me any help and advice as to how to accomplish this?
Many thanks
Code below....

Code:

<script type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
  var p,i,x;  if(!d) d=document; if((p=n.indexOf("?"))>0&&parent.frames.length) {
    d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document; n=n.substring(0,p);}
  if(!(x=d[n])&&d.all) x=d.all[n]; for (i=0;!x&&i<d.forms.length;i++) x=d.forms[i][n];
  for(i=0;!x&&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length;i++) x=MM_findObj(n,d.layers[i].document);
  if(!x && d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n); return x;
}

function MM_validateForm() { //v4.0
  var i,p,q,nm,test,num,min,max,errors='',args=MM_validateForm.arguments;
  for (i=0; i<(args.length-2); i+=3) { test=args[i+2]; val=MM_findObj(args[i]);
    if (val) { nm=val.name; if ((val=val.value)!="") {
      if (test.indexOf('isEmail')!=-1) { p=val.indexOf('@');
        if (p<1 || p==(val.length-1)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain an e-mail address.\n';
      } else if (test!='R') { num = parseFloat(val);
        if (isNaN(val)) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number.\n';
        if (test.indexOf('inRange') != -1) { p=test.indexOf(':');
          min=test.substring(8,p); max=test.substring(p+1);
          if (num<min || max<num) errors+='- '+nm+' must contain a number between '+min+' and '+max+'.\n';
    } } } else if (test.charAt(0) == 'R') errors += '- '+nm+' is required.\n'; }
  } if (errors) alert('The following error(s) occurred:\n'+errors);
  document.MM_returnValue = (errors == '');
}
//-->
</script

I've set up a mock registration form page so I can learn a bit about javascript's form validation. (newbie) I want to try to attempt to style the border of a form field green when the user enters the correct info into the form text field and red on all other fields if the user doesnt enter any info into them. When i test it, enter the right info into the username field, leave the others blank, and hit the submit button it styles the username field green ok but it doesnt make the next fields (password and so on) red. Could someone please explain what I am doing wrong?

here is my code so far...
Note: just for testing purposes I've put return false on everything so it displays a message when everythings ok.

Code:

....
<script type="text/javascript">
	window.onload = function() {
		document.forms[0].username.focus();
	}
	function validate(form)
	{
		var form = document.getElementById("reg");
		var e = document.getElementById("error");
		e.style.background = "red";
		
		for(var i = 0; i < form.elements.length; i++)
		{
			var el = form.elements[i];
			if(el.type == "text" || el.type == "password")
			{
				if(el.value == "")
				{
					e.innerHTML = "Please fill in all fields!";
					el.style.border = "1px solid red";
					el.focus();
					return false;
				} else {
					el.style.border = "1px solid green";
					return false;
				}
			}
		}
		var un = form.username;
		un.value = un.value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
		if((un.value.length < 3)|| (/[^a-z0-9\_]/gi.test(un.value)))
		{
			e.innerHTML = "Only letters,numbers and the underscore are allowed (no spaces) - 3-16 characters";
			un.focus();
			return false;
		}
		var pw = form.password;
		pw.value = pw.value.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");
		if((pw.value.length < 3) || (/[^a-z0-9]/gi.test(pw.value)))
		{
			e.innerHTML = "Only letters and numbers are allowed (no spaces) - 3-16 characters";
			pw.focus();
			return false;
		}
		e.innerHTML = "You filled in all the fields, well done!";
		e.style.background = "green";
		return false;
	}
</script>
