Strange posting error

[tjohnson_nb]

Not sure if anyone can help here - this involves javascript and php. I have a simple javascript like this;

	function disp_confirm(companyid) {
	var link='companies.php?action=Archive&companyid='+companyid;
	var c=confirm('Do you really want to archive this company?');
	if (c==true)  {
		document.location.href=link;
	}
}

And further in the php code I have;

echo "    <input type=\"image\" src=\"../b_drop.png\" onclick=\"disp_confirm('$companyid')\">\n";

 

When you click on the image (b_drop.png) the confirmation box comes up but when you click 'ok' the _GET variables in the javascript link are not  passed to the server but for some reason the coordinates of where you clicked the image are??

 

I get this output from the $_POST variable but nothing from the $_GET variable and I'm not posting anything.

companyid=6668
fields=Array
x=8
y=6

Of course if I click on different spots of the image I get different numbers for x and y.

I moved around the code a bit as

 

function disp_confirm(companyid) {
      var c = confirm('Do you really want to archive this company?');
      
      if (c == true)  {
            var link='companies.php?action=Archive&companyid='+companyid;
            alert(link);
      }
} 

 

The alert shows that the correct url is passed to link variable.  It would be just a matter of getting that into the URL.

Ok,

 

Have done some further research and have come up with this so far.  The main problem seems to be the image for the form button.  If you do not use an image and use window.location, it works.

 

function disp_confirm(companyid) {
var c = confirm('Do you really want to archive this company?');
      
      if (c == true)  {
            var link='companies.php?action=Archive&companyid='+companyid;
            window.location=link;

          //could also be
          // window.location = 'companies.php?action=Archive&companyid='+companyid;

      }

}

 

and html

 

echo "<input type='button' value='Redirect' onclick=\"disp_confirm('$companyid')\">";

 

 

Will chk further on the image as button option.

try this:

echo '    <input type="image" src="../b_drop.png" onclick="disp_confirm(\''.$companyid.'\')"> \n';

Tested this and it works.

 

 

<script type='text/javascript'>
  function disp_confirm(companyid) {
    var c = confirm('Do you really want to archive this company?');
if (c == true)  {
    window.location.href  = 'companies.php?action=Archive&companyid='+companyid;
}
  }
</script>




<?
$companyid = '1';
echo "<input type='image'  src='blue.png'   onclick=\"disp_confirm('$companyid')\" />";
?>

Yes that works so I guess I don't need to use the image. The really strange thing is I have the exact same code running in another file (actually several) with that image and they all work! Mystery 

[siric]

so the code I posted didn't work then?

 

Yes, yours the HTML was fine, but i changed the javascript as well.
