My function is not working, what am I doing wrong?

[StefanRSA]

I have a function:

function deleteimage1(){
var image1Field = document.getElementById('image1');
upload_field.form.action = 'imagedelete.php';
upload_field.form.target = 'upload_iframe';
upload_field.form.submit();
upload_field.form.action = '';
upload_field.form.target = '';
return true;
}

I am trying to get the value of field with ID 'image1' and then post the value to the imagedelete.php file so I can delete an image without refresh.

 

This is not working??? Can anybody please help me?

to be honest I'd recommend using jQuery to achieve this!

 

It would be as simple as:

 

var filename = jQuery('#image1').val();
jQuery.post('imagedelete.php', { filename: filename  });

 

You imagedelete.php file would need to be looking for $_POST['filename'], but this is easily changeable...

I don't see any ajax transport used here... You are actually posting the whole form to imagedelete.php.
