javascript working on mozilla firefox but not on IE 6

[itgaurav198]

Hi,

I have the following script

function submitForm1()
{
   document.forms[0].action="SearchRecords";
   document.forms[0].submit();
}

[HTML]<select name="l" onchange="submi tForm1();">[/HTML]

This script is working on firefox but not in IE6.
Can anybody tell me why this is happening and the alternative solution to perform the same function.

Thanks

So what happens in IE? Any errors?

So what happens in IE? Any errors?

Hi,
There is neither any response nor any error means it does not call SearchRecords at all.

Thanx

Is 'SearchRecords' a valid server file?

You're using forms[0]. Is there only one form in the page?

Hi,

There is only one form and also SearchRecords is valid after all this is working on Firefox.
Is it possible that we have to make some changes in settings of IE?If yes, what will be those settings.

Thanks

Can you post the rest of the code or a link? If the code is too long, post the relevant parts.

Hi,
Thax for ur consideration. but I think the code in original post is sufficient to find the error. In this I have one dropdown and based on that I call the javascript function that sets the action attribute for the form and submits it to that servlet.

Thanks

There is nothing wrong with the original code, even if IE6 is being used. There can be error in the code above these two statements:

document.forms[0].action="SearchRecords";
document.forms[0].submit();

which is causing the form not to submit. Try using alert functions to debug the statements above the form submission code

Hi,
I have tried both of the following

function submitForm1()
{
alert("hvgfjh");
   document.forms[0].action="SearchRecords";
   document.forms[0].submit();
}

function submitForm1()
{
   document.forms[0].action="SearchRecords";
alert("hvgfjh");
   document.forms[0].submit();
}

In IE6
In first one the alert box works but in second no alert box appears.
In IE7
But both are working on IE7

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry for the previous post.
Please ignore the previous reply because it works for both radiobutton and dropdown in IE 7 but not with IE 6.

function submitForm2()
{
document.forms[0].action="Search";

In IE 6
In submitForm1() if I use alert before document.forms[0].action="Search Records"; then it only shows the alert box but do not submit the form to SearchRecords servlet and if i use it after document.forms[0].action="Search Records"; it neither shows alert box now submits the form to SearchRecords servlet.
