Re: javascript in IE or Mac

Larry,

Enter "javascript:" in the browser to open up the JavaScript console in FireFox. Safari also does some things differently than IE and FireFox. http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/faq.html#anchor14 will show you how to enable the same functionality in Safari.

I think that the problem is related to the code in the body - that the Mac
does not even try to run the SubmitForm function. When I change SubmitForm
to xxxx as below, IE gives an error ("cant find xxxx) but the Mac still does
nothing

<script language="javascript">

xxxx('https://payflowlink.paypal.com')
</script>

Maybe what you want is:

document.forms( "S1" ).action = Action;
document.forms( "S1" ).submit( );

I have a javascript function that allows me to submit a form. Here is the
code:

<script language=JavaScript>
function SubmitForm(Action) {
document.S1.action = Action;
document.S1.submit ();
}
</script>


It is called from with a form with the following code:

<script language="javascript">
SubmitForm('https://payflowlink.paypal.com')
</script>


This runs fine in IE - the form data is submitted to the URL specified in
the SubmitForm function.
When this runs in Firefox on a Mac, nothing happens (no error, but no
submit).

Anybody have an idea as to why? My guess is that I don't know javascript
too well and am doing something wrong that IE forgives but Firefox does
not.
