ifrmae form

[lonelydragon]

hello,
i am tring to submit a iframe form from JS in the parent. but it works in IE, and not in fireforx. anyoen can help?
the code i use isone of the following:
window.frames['groupFile'].document.groupForm.submit();
//window.frames['groupFile'].document.getElementById('groupForm').submit();

Try:

window.frames['groupFile'].document.forms['groupForm'].submit();

If that fails, make sure the form named "groupForm" has no element named "submit".

Hope this helps,
Dan

no, it does not work either

 

[BillyRayPreachersSon]

Does your iframe have a name attribute of groupFile, and a form within that with a name of groupForm?

Make sure the case is correct (so lowercase "g" and upeprcase "F" in both cases in your name attribute).

yes, the iframe has name and id "groupFile" ; and the form within the iframe have the name and id "groupForm

 

[BillyRayPreachersSon]

And there is no element named "submit" in the form?

Failing that, can you post the whole code - page and iframe... or better still a URl to the page, or cut-down test harness?

tried the following without any luck:
top.frames['groupFile'].document.groupForm.submit();
//window.frames['groupFile'].document.groupForm.submit();
// window.frames['groupFile'].document.getElementById('groupForm').submit();
//window.frames['groupFile'].document.forms['groupForm'].submit();
//document.getElementById('groupFile').contentWindow.document.groupForm.submit();

i assume you un-commented the other lines??

we need all the code, as Dan suggested.

in the iframe, the code is:
<form name=groupForm id=groupForm method=POST>
<input type=hidden name=cPntr id=cPntr >
<input type=hidden name=groupName id=groupName value=''>
<input type=hidden id=selectedNum name=selectedNum value=''>
<input type=hidden name=updateGroup id=updateGroup value=''>
<input type=submit value=submit>
<div id=groupDivA></div>
<div id=groupDivB></div>
</form>

in the parent:
i have some radio options and a iframe, and on click the radio, call the javascript function in the parent, and javascript function then pass some data to the hidden fields in the iframe, and then submit the form

 

[lonelydragon]

the code in the parent:
<table>
<tr><td><input type=radio id=addC name=add_opt value=group onclick=\"csvShow('group');\" > Use saved student group(s)</td></tr>

<tr><td>
<iframe name=groupFile id=groupFile src='csvfile.php' class='' allowtransparency=true framespacing=0 frameborder=no border=0 width=500px scrolling='no' height=150px></iframe>
</td></tr>
</table>

<script>
var numleft = document.getElementById('numLeft').value;
var selectedCR = document.getElementById('selectedCR').value;

window.frames['groupFile'].document.getElementById('cPntr').value = selectedCR;

window.frames['groupFile'].document.getElementById('groupForm').submit();
</script>

 

[BillyRayPreachersSon]

Change this:

<script>

to this:

<script [!]type="text/javascript"[/!]>

You should [!]always[/!] specify the type of script, otherwise some browsers will ignore it, as they would have to guess at the language you are using.

Anyway - you are running the script inline - so you could well be trying to submit the form before it has even loaded. Try moving the code to a function which is called onload, etc.

actually, i do have that in my code, when i typied them here, i did. thanks

 

[lonelydragon]

and also , the JS code is not inline, it is External JavaScript

Enclose all your attributes with quotes!!! That is not acceptable to moz-ff. Mind to do that and retest.

 

[BillyRayPreachersSon]

How the hell do you expect us to help if the code you're showing us is not the code on your page? Really - come on... this should be common sense!

Now - how about you show us the REAL code you have before this thread simply gets red flagged and deleted?
