help me, i can't get it to work!

[Ric373]

its probably very easy, but I can't get it to work. Here's what i have:


<script type='text/javascript' language='JavaScript'><!--
function submitForm() {
document.form1.submit();
}
//--></script>

this works

next i have a peace of php:



echo "<form name='form".$id."' method='post' action='edit.php?id=".$id."&amp;done=".$done."'>
<input name='checkbox' type='checkbox' value='checkbox' onClick='submitForm();'";


still works...

this is what i want to do:

js code:

<script type='text/javascript' language='JavaScript'><!--
function submitForm(myForm) {
document.myForm.submit();
}
//--></script>

php code:


echo "<form name='form".$id."' method='post' action='edit.php?id=".$id."&amp;done=".$done."'>
<input name='checkbox' type='checkbox' value='checkbox' onClick='submitForm('form".$id."');'";


I cant get this to work, does anyone know how to fix this?

thanks,

Ric

Your first piece of JS is referencing 'form1' and the PHP is dynamically labelling your form with "form".$id

I'm guessing $id = 1, and therefore it works.

Your second piece of JS is referencing 'myForm', yet you are still dynamically labelling the form as "form".$id.

Change the php line from

<form name=form.$id ...

to

<form name=myForm ....

no, thats not it, i call the javascript with a variable:

onClick='submitForm('form".$id."');

i retrieve the variable as myForm in my js function and i then use it
to tell it what form it should submit

function submitForm(myForm) {
document.myForm.submit();
}

the basic idea is to have a list with checkboxes, when one is clicked
it should submit the corresponding form.
