Call Javascript function in Mac ie browser 1

n2ckb · Jan 6, 2004

Hi guys,

I have a website that works fine in the PC version of IE. To avoid Netscape problems of onclick events with images I have used a href link to a javascript function. It does not appear to work with the Mac version of IE Does anyone know of the correct syntax to make a form submit on an href using a javascript function that is Mac and PC compatible?

Thanks in advance, any help is much appreciated!

shown below is my test page that doesn't work either...

<HTML>

<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
function mactest()
{
document.maccheck.submit();
}
</SCRIPT>

<BODY>
<FORM method = "post" name = "maccheck" id = "maccheck" action = "pageworked.asp">
<a href = "mactest.asp" onclick ="mactest(); return false;"><img src = "clickme.jpg"></A>
</FORM>
</BODY>

</HTML>

If you remove the 'id="maccheck"' and 'return(false);', the codes works:

Code:

<HTML>

<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
function mactest()
{
document.maccheck.submit();
}
</SCRIPT>

<BODY>
<FORM method = &quot;post&quot; name = &quot;maccheck&quot;action = &quot;pageworked.asp&quot;>
    <a href = &quot;mactest.asp&quot; onclick =&quot;mactest();&quot;><img src = &quot;clickme.jpg&quot;></A>
</FORM>
</BODY>


</HTML>

Hope this helps!

In fact, you just need to remove the 'return false;' statement.
