[RESOLVED] Firefox and IE

[oceanebelle]

<td align="right"><input class="navmenu" id="return" type="button" value="戻る"  onclick="doProcess(this.id)"></td>

this code, will execute doProcess in IE, but not in FX why?

the doProcess function is

function doProcess(process){
	var aform = document.forms(0);
	
	alert("javascript called");

	if(process == "return"){
		window.top.location = "manage.html";
	}
}

You only posted it 5 mins. ago... ...you just like the sound of your own... errr ...text!

As for why Fx doesn't work, it must b because of how great it is, just like everyone keeps telling me.

why was this posted in cc?

[oceanebelle]

well, I am in a hurry. ...

why???

I am just wondering about this.

[oceanebelle]

why was this posted in cc?

because there are more people here.. and i don't really know whether it would fall in javascript or html since it involves browsers... thought many people who are familiar with Fx frequents more here.

and I frequent here as well.

Change that to

onclick="javascript:doProcess(this);"

[oceanebelle]

it still won't work.

[mendhak]

Reinstall Windows.

ROFL

Have you taken a look into Tools > JavaScript console? It might tell what is wrong.

[mendhak]

What is this for:

var aform = document.forms(0);

?

[mendhak]

That line seems to be the error. Remove it.

[oceanebelle]

LOL... now that's a good suggestion... found the bugger... ehehehe.. sorry for being a Fx noob

there is no

var aform = document.forms(0)

in Fx?

[oceanebelle]

What is this for:

var aform = document.forms(0);

?

i would in the future be using that... why is it an error? it doesn't say so in ie.

[oceanebelle]

okies. instead of figuring that out... I'll just remove it THanks.

[Merri]

After a quick Google, should it be [0] and not (0)?

[oceanebelle]

hmm.. that would be the standard then, in IE its fine. I was following the japanese code style.. i never saw them use [] in accessing elements in a collection array...

no wonder.

thanks for all your help!

This is the last time we let you post a programming question in Chit Chat. The next time, we'll get the pitchforks out.

[oceanebelle]

LOL... okies okies.. I know I went overboard this time. :'( SORRY SIR... *salutes and stalks off*.

Believe it or not, IE understands this code! Wayback Machine to kaenkoski.net

Now, take a look into the menu in the left. If you use anything else than IE, you probably notice you can click only one of the links. However in IE all links work just fine. Open the frame source and take a look into the way the links are formatted, especially when links open and close... and then start wondering how IE figures how to display as creator of the site has intended.

why won't it work on Fx?

[visualAd]

Don't you just love IE?? In theory, if you enclose your script in <script type="text/javascript"></script> it should force IE to be strict with the syntax.

Of course with Internet Explorer its not a case of "monkey say, monkey do"

why won't it work on Fx?

Becuase its invalid Javascript code - it is not however invlaid Jscript code.

[oceanebelle]

so if I take out meta tag "text/javascript"... in theory would that be okey, for Fx that is?

[visualAd]

No, just in IE. It should force IE to be strict and ensure that it is valid Javascript.

Internet Explorer by default uses JScript, which is not Javascript. JScript includes its own DOM and i not sctrict about things like semi colons and array syntax. Firefox complies with the W3C standard of Javascript nad does not know what JScript is, therefore it won't work.

Thanks for clearing it all up, Adam.
