My Functions in One Function Are Ignored

[williadn48]

This doesn't work:
...onclick='DoMultipleActions()'


function DoMultipleActions(){
WriteStartTime();
ChangeBtns_frmFlds1();
StartTimer();
}
Well, the only function that works is the WriteStartTime function.

function WriteStartTime()
{ frmTIMETRACKING.hdnAction.value = 'Start';
frmTIMETRACKING.submit();
return false;
}
function ChangeBtns_frmFlds1()
{
var selFA = document.frmTIMETRACKING.drpeFUNCAREA.value;
var selSF = document.frmTIMETRACKING.drpeSUBFUNC.value;
var inpBatches = document.frmTIMETRACKING.veBatches.value;
var inpComments = document.frmTIMETRACKING.veCOMMENTS.value;
//If Func Area = QC and...
if (selFA == 100)
{
//If Sub Func = Auditing...
if (selSF == 120)
{
//...then a number of batches must be entered.
if (inpBatches == "")
{
alert("You must enter number of batches.");
return false;
}
}
}
//If Func Area = QC and...
if (selFA == 100)
{
//If Sub Func = System Errors or Other...
if (selSF == 121 || selSF == 8)
{
//...then comments must be entered.
if (inpComments == "")
{
alert("You must enter comments.");
return false;
}
}
}
//If Func Area = Misc. and...
if (selFA == 102)
{
//If Sub Func = Meetings or Training or Projects...
if (selSF == 124 || selSF == 126 || selSF == 127)
{
//...then comments must be entered.
if (inpComments == "")
{
alert("You must enter comments.");
return false;
}
}
}
document.frmTIMETRACKING.btnStop.disabled = false;
document.frmTIMETRACKING.btnStart.disabled = true;

document.frmTIMETRACKING.drpeFUNCAREA.disabled = true;
document.frmTIMETRACKING.drpeSUBFUNC.disabled = true;
document.frmTIMETRACKING.veBatches.disabled = true;
document.frmTIMETRACKING.veCOMMENTS.disabled = true;
return false;
}
var timerID = 0;
var tStart = null;

function UpdateTimer() {
if(timerID) {
clearTimeout(timerID);
clockID = 0;
}

if(!tStart)
tStart = new Date();

var tDate = new Date();
var tDiff = tDate.getTime() - tStart.getTime();

tDate.setTime(tDiff);

document.frmTIMETRACKING.theTime.value = ""
+ tDate.getMinutes() + ":"
+ tDate.getSeconds();

timerID = setTimeout("UpdateTimer()", 1000);
}

function StartTimer() {
tStart = new Date();

document.frmTIMETRACKING.theTime.value = "00:00";

timerID = setTimeout("UpdateTimer()", 1000);
return false;
}

Do you you get any errors appearing? Try using Firefox and looking in the JavaScript console. Does any of the second function execute? Do you see any messages / alerts?

I'd EXPECT that function to be the only one that works. In it you submit the form, which would probably pretty much end anything else happening on your page. It's probably doing exactly what you programmed it to do.

I am a newbie. So how do I (using javascript) submit a write to the db and come back to continue processing?

This isn't a "newbie" answer, but it's the only one that fits your criteria: Use AJAX.
