Hi all

i have this problem with my ajax script that it is working with IE but not on firefox.this script is updating database. following is AJAX Script::

<script type="text/javascript">
 function ajaxpost(){ 
var mypostrequest;
   try
  {
  // Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
  mypostrequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
catch (e)
  {
  // Internet Explorer
  try
    {
   mypostrequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
    }
  catch (e)
    {
    mypostrequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
  }
mypostrequest.onreadystatechange=function(){
  if (mypostrequest.readyState == 4) { 
    res = mypostrequest.responseText;  // These following lines get the response and update the page
   document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = res;
	//document.getElementById('result').value = res;
   }
}

var parameters =  
"client="+encodeURI(document.getElementById("client").value)+
"&user="+encodeURI(document.getElementById("user").value)+
"&frmtim="+encodeURI(document.getElementById("frmtim").value)+
"&totim="+encodeURI(document.getElementById("totim").value)+
"&title="+encodeURI(document.getElementById("title").value)+
"&type="+encodeURI(document.getElementById("type").value)+
"&desc="+encodeURI(document.getElementById("desc").value)+
"&date="+encodeURI(document.getElementById("date").value);
var url = "https://client.extremescreamproductions.com/leads/ajaxpost.php";
mypostrequest.open("POST", url, true);
mypostrequest.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
mypostrequest.setRequestHeader("Content-length", parameters.length);
mypostrequest.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
mypostrequest.send(parameters);
}
</script>

HTML page is::

<form  method = "post"action="" id="action_time">  
  <table>
  <tr><td>Client</td><td><input name="client" type="text" id="client" value="<% print $hname; %>"/> </td>

                 <option id="opt4" value="type4">Type 4</option>
 </select> </td><td></td><td></td></tr>
    <tr><td>Description</td><td colspan="3"><textarea name="desc" id="desc" rows="5" cols="15">description goes here</textarea> </td></tr>
       <tr><td>Date</td><td><input name="date" id="date" size="15" value="<?php echo $cur_date;?>"></td>     <td colspan="2">

Hi.

I see two problems.

First, the <select> box is missing the ID attribute.
IE incorrectly uses the name attribute when an ID tag is missing, which explains why this works in IE.

Also, the <input type="submit"> button should not be used to trigger scripts like that. Unlike the onsubmit event of the <form> element, if the <input> onclick event returns false, as it does in your script, the form could still be submitted.
(IE and Firefox apparently do stop it tho.)

To fix that, try changing the <input type="submit"> to <input type="button"> . That should just trigger the script.

Thanks a lot !!!!
It worked....you r an angel to me.
