Sir form meens total form section in the jsp page?

Where do you get the error? What errors do you see?

I'm assuming you see the error on the "add" method.

See this thread.

Also, see the source on this link (see comments - add with one argument is IE-only, not standard-compliant)

Just noticed the duplicate thread. I've merged the threads. Please do not double-post.

Hi all ,
i am new to javascript the following function is working IE well but it is not working in FireFox pls help me to solve this problem it is very urgent for me. Pls help me

my code follows

The add method should have two arguments.

The standards compliant way would be:
Unfortunately, this doesn't work in IE, so you would have to use the following code:

Post your code. Remember you have to use null for the second argument as I posted earlier.

here i am posting my code this also working in IE but not in FF my code follows

Instead of try: Surely, you mean the name, not the type.

Perhaps you could post your form HTML as well as how you are calling this function.

Instead of

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. if(document.formmain(comboName).type=='select-one'){

try:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. if(document.formmain[comboName].name=='select-one'){

Surely, you mean the name, not the type.

Perhaps you could post your form HTML as well as how you are calling this function.

hi ,
even i change it if(document.formmain(comboName).name=='select-one'){ no use same thing happening . here i am sending code how i am declaering and calling combobox

[HTML]<td width="40%" align="center" valign="center" >
<select name="medDirection<%=i%>" style="font-family:Verdana; font-size: 8pt; color: #000000;border: 0px solid #666666 ; BORDER-WIDTH: 1px; BORDER-STYLE: inset; width:500px" class="subvalue" onKeyDown="fnKeyDownHandler(this, event);" onKeyUp="fnKeyUpHandler_A(this, event); return false;" onKeyPress = "return fnKeyPressHandler_A(this, event);" onChange="fnChangeHandler_A(this, event);"
value="<jsp:getProperty name="_adminBean" property="medDirection"/>">
<option value=""></option>

<option value="BID">BID</option>
<option value="GT">GT</option>
<option value="HS">HS</option>
<option value="OD">OD</option>
</select>
</td>[/HTML]


for displaying these combo box values calling the method like this
<Script>
displayComboValues("medDirection0",'<%=_adminBean. getMedDirection()%>');
</Script>

pls tell me where is the problem

Thanking u

What's "select-one"? The type of a combo box is going to be "select".

Do you get any errors? If so, on what line?

select-one is the combobox name . we didnt get any errors . combobox working fine but the values are not displaying in the FireFox .


Thanking u

The name of the combo box that you're passing is "MedDirection0"

Ok, i know this comes a little late on the topic, but i had to comment on this.

build a select box (size=1 line)
give it some dummy options
now, add the following

onchange="alert(this.type)"

any guess what it will return? i will give you a hint, it's not "select"

it will return "select-one" and if it's a multiple select it will return... yes, you guessed it "select-multiple"

so checking on the o.type=="select-one" is perfectly valid;

just thought i would weigh in on that.

Instead of

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. if(document.formmain(comboName).type=='select-one'){

try:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. if(document.formmain[comboName].name=='select-one'){

Surely, you mean the name, not the type.

Perhaps you could post your form HTML as well as how you are calling this function.

bus, did you ever solve this?

i wonder if the problem isn't the fact that you are addressing the element with the wrong indexing operator... actually i am surprised it's working in any broswer

rather then
try
note the [ rather then (

select-one is the combobox name . we didnt get any errors . combobox working fine but the values are not displaying in the FireFox .

Interesting - I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing that out.

Incidentally, I found this - silly me for not checking.

Hi all,
the following line of code is working fine in IE but the same line of code is not working in Firefox . can any one help me is there any other way to write the same line of code for firefox.

if(document.formmain(comboName).type=='select-one')

my main doubt is 'select-one' will work in firefox or not? if not pls tell me is there any alternative for that.

This reminds me of your earlier thread. Is it the same problem?

Yes after a long time again i shifteed to that problem again , what is the compatiable word to "select-one"

You still don't seem to understand, the problem has nothing to do with the type identifier.

The syntax is incorrect as it constitutes a function call not a reference. The Firefox error console must be indicating this.

hi

type= ='select-one' can work in firefox and IE,because this property is defined in DOM Level1,but you should get the 'select' by using DOM. for example:

[HTML]
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<select id="listmul" name="listmul" multiple></select>
<br />
<script language="javascript">
<!--
document.write ( document.getElementById("listmul").type);
-->
</script>

<br />
<select id="listsgl" name="listsgl"></select>
<br />
<script language="javascript">
<!--
document.write ( document.getElementById("listsgl").type);
-->
</script>
</body>
</html>
[/HTML]


the output is

select-multiple
select-one

hope it helps.

Well, after almost 5 months, aren't you glad?

It shouldn't have worked in any browser in the first place.
