form submission

[ginerjm]

I have a button that has the following:

onclick="confirmDeleteEvent($i)"

in my php code.

 

My JS code is:

function confirmDeleteEvent(i)
{
   frmname = 'entform'+i;
   alert("in confirmdelete with "+frmname);
   var ans = confirm("You will delete this event and any associated partner data.  OK?");
   if (ans)
   {
      document.getElementById(frmname).submit();
   }
   return;
}

My alerts tell me that I have values in the JS that make sense to me.  Yet I can't get it to accept the submit call.  Message is "object doesn't support this property or method".  What am I doing wrong?  I have tried many different ways (that I found on the net) which also don't work.  Amazing how many tips are out there that are just plain wrong.

I'm going to take a stab at this one, not 100% sure.

I believe the error is happening because the object that you are creating inside of the function is not available outside of its scope.

Try passing the form object into the function via is argument list.

Here is what finally worked.

 

in my html i have a button that has

... onclick="confirmDeleteEvent(this.form)"....

 

in my js function I do this:

function confirmDeleteEvent(thisfrm)
{
   var ans = confirm("You will delete this event and any associated partner data.  OK?");
   if (ans)
        thisfrm.submit();
   else
        return;
}

 

Don't know what the resonse about objects being out of scope means.  But this code definitely works!

well, the code you posted backs up what I stated.

Glad you got it.
