Submitting form not working in firefox

[dc_jt]

Hi I have put this in Javascript section but there are no users in there so I hope it is ok to put in here too.

 

I have the following code which works with IE but not in Firefox:

 

<!--
function changestudent(){
document.getElementById('status').value = 'remove_image';

add_edit.submit();
}
-->

 

It is linked to a remove image button which when clicked submits and saves the form and then removes the image. It works in IE but not firefox, anyone know?

 

Thanks

The DOM specification uses nodeValue.

 

document.getElementById('status').nodeValue

 

Oh, and there's a Javascript Help forum for this type of thing.

Sorry Im not too sure what you mean, im a beginner with javascript. How do you put that into my script then?

Well this is a PHP section not the javascript section!!

I know, im only trying to get help as I said there is noone in the javascript forum and a lot of people who know PHP know javascript too. So if you cant help then just ignore the post!!

Somebody will come along move this thread to the correct board, don't worry too much about it. Please don't do it again though.

 

Back on topic:

 

I think I may have misunderstood the use of this script. I'm guessing .value refers to an attribute 'value' of the element with the id 'status', right? setAttribute('value') is indeed the correct way to do it, but .value should work in FF too.

 

The problem is probably in the shortcut to the form, so avoid the shortcut:

 

document.forms['add_edit'].submit();

heres a little example, of what i use

<img id="myimage" src="mycat.gif" />

<script type="text/javascript">
var imgsrc=document.getElementById("myimage").getAttribute("src")
document.getElementById("myimage").setAttribute("src", "mydog.gif")
</script>
