Problems with Java in Netscape

[Harshmellow]

Hello!

I´ve post this on the Java forum, and now I´m expanding this to this forum too: I´m using a javascript and it works fine on Explorer browsers, but it doesn´t work in Netscape. Why does this happen and HOW can I solve this? Asap!

my code is as follows:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>

function validate(form)
{
if (form.pass.value != form.confirmpass.value) {
alert(&quot;Passwords do not match!&quot;
form.pass.value = '';
form.confirmpass.value = '';
form.pass.focus();
return false;
}
return true;
}
</SCRIPT>

And the function is called from the onSubmit form function, like this:

<form method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;FileName&quot; name=&quot;form&quot; onSubmit=&quot;return validate(this)&quot;>

Thanks in advance, .: HarshMellow :. &quot;Sperto ne estas tio, kio okazis al vi, sed estas tio, kion vi faras al tio, kio okazas al vi.&quot; (Aldous Huxley)

It's possible that there are some collisions happening because you've named everything &quot;form&quot;. I'm especially concerned because &quot;form&quot; is the name of a built-in object, so there may be some name collisions there. I suggest using &quot;frm&quot; to prefix any form names, so your form would be named &quot;frmLogon&quot; or whatever; also rename the validate() function's parameter to &quot;objTargetForm&quot; or something like that (I like to use &quot;obj&quot; to prefix object references).

If that doesn't solve it, you might try changing the validate() function so that it doesn't need a parameter at all -- simply reference document.forms.formname directoy in the function.

If neither of these suggestions helps, perhaps you could also post the

<input>

tags and describe more fully the error (any error messages, etc.).

Thank you, pcorreia!

I'll try to use this syntax on my new scripts, I think it helps a lot, but I'm new to scripting. And then, I don't understand too much about parameters and so (really dumb must I be, huh), but what I've done, which solved the problem, is to name (I think this is how its called) the directory to a parameter (I think), like:

function validate(form)
{
pass = frm.pass.value
confirmpass = frm.confirmpass.value
   if (pass != confirmpass) {
      alert(&quot;Passwords do not match!&quot;
      pass = '';
      confirmpass = '';
      frm.pass.focus();
      return false;
   }
   return true;
}

It worked fine for verifying the two fields, but it didn't work to erase the values... even when I changed the code like the older one for the part frm.pass.value = '';... but still worked the focus.

Thanks a lot!
