AJAX FF/Mozilla Form Woes

Question

15 Years Ago

I have a web based form that contains a select box that calls to an AJAX function from the onchange event that produces at least two additional select/textboxes boxes. When I submit the form using Firefox/Mozilla, the additional form values do not post to the next page. Ugh! Works fine in IE. Below is a copy of the selectTimeSettings.js that the first select box calls.

var xmlHttp
function ShowTimeSettings(str){
xmlHttp=GetXmlHttpObject()
if (xmlHttp==null) {
alert ("Browser does not support HTTP Request")
return
}
var url="select_time_settings.php"
url=url+"?q="+str
url=url+"&sid="+Math.random()
xmlHttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged
xmlHttp.open("GET",url,true)
xmlHttp.send(null)
}
function stateChanged() {
if (xmlHttp.readyState==4 || xmlHttp.readyState=="complete") {
document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlHttp.responseText
}
}
function GetXmlHttpObject() {
var xmlHttp=null;
try {
// Firefox, Opera 8.0+, Safari
xmlHttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
catch (e) {
//Internet Explorer
try {
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}
catch (e) {
xmlHttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
}
return xmlHttp;
}

tia,

You have put semicolons at the end of each statement in GetXmlHttpObject() function but not in stateChanged() and ShowTimeSettings() functions. Be consistent in your coding style.

And please use code tags to put your code.

Thanks for the input. The semicolons had no effect.

Man use code tags. We cannot read your code.

I don't have the chance to look at your problem further, maybe that helps : - )
