hi all

this basicaly works in opera but not in firefox, i downloaded web developer toolbar extension for firefox and an error came up.

error: form is not defined line 6
if ( form.firsttextbox.value == "" )


here is my html where the form is, can anyone see why opera likes it anf firefox dont any feedback would be great.

thanks for for looking

code:

function validate_form ( )
{
valid = true;


if ( form.firsttextbox.value == "" )
{
alert ( "Please fill in the 'creditcard' box." );
valid = false;
}

if ( form.dow.selectedIndex == 0 )
{
alert ( "Please select your Age." );
valid = false;
}

if ( form.ctime.selectedIndex == 0 )
{
alert ( "Please select your time." );
valid = false;
}

if ( form.cdate.selectedIndex == 0 )
{
alert ( "Please select your date." );
valid = false;
}


return valid;
}



html:
<form id="form" action="second.php" method="get" onsubmit="return validate_form ( );">

thanks

Aah..I haven't looked at your code.

But basically, if it tends to work in IE and Opera, it "may" not work in firefox probably, because, Firefox uses a processing engine (code named Gecko) where IE and Opera use Trident and Presto respectively. i AM not sure of this reason, though this might be one of them.

The second thing is you may have another form, so use the collection property to specify, something like
and then use the variable x for the fields. You can use this, even if you have one form on the entire page.

Thirdly, the name "form" might be conflicting!

Hope this helps!

hi

thanks for that it works a treat

Did it help?..
Do you have successful test results on either browsers?

ya it did both browsers

thanks a again

Oh, that's good!

Hey, dude, fill up the profile form, and let the community know which distro, are you using... and where are you from!

ya no probs

where do i fill those details

If you are logged on, just type http://www.linuxquestions.org and you'll see menu called "MyLQ" and under that, just click on the left hand side navigation link saying "Edit Profile" and fill in details.

got it thanks
