Need help with imagemap form--won't submit OnClick 1

[presumpscot]

I'm can't get an imagemap form to submit when the user clicks on a hotspot. It will work in IE 5.5 using DblClick, but in all other cases it doesn't execute. No errors, just nothing happens. The test page is at

http://www.mltn.org/search/counties/map_search_test.html

See the source code for detailed comments.

Code in question is:

onClick="window.document.mapsearch.submit();"

Thanks for the help!

I think it is a bizarre problem with your href, watch what happens if you change it to look like this:

<MAP NAME=&quot;searchablemap&quot;>
<AREA COORDS=&quot;1,0,48,25&quot; ALT=&quot;Falmouth&quot; SHAPE=&quot;rect&quot;
HREF=&quot;javascript:getsearchresults();&quot;
onMouseover=&quot;document.forms.mapsearch.lookfor.value = 'Falmouth';
return false;&quot;
>


<AREA COORDS=&quot;2,26,48,50&quot; ALT=&quot;Rockland&quot; SHAPE=&quot;rect&quot;
HREF=&quot;javascript:getsearchresults();&quot;
onMouseover=&quot;document.forms.mapsearch.lookfor.value = 'Rockland';
return false;&quot;
>

</MAP>

just put your onclick behavior in the href, and get rid of the onclick...not sure why this worked,but it does jared@aauser.com

Jared,

May your life be filled with much happiness and good fortune.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you again for a simple, elegant, and thoroughly effective solution. I followed your suggestion and tested it in IE 5.5, NS 6, 4.7, 3, and 2. It worked beautifully in all but NS 2--which I presume is simply because NS 2 is from the Jurassic Age of JavaScript and doesn't support some of that code.

Now that you've helped me iron out the last kink in my test page, I can go ahead and implemement the real McCoy.

Muchas gracias
