Working in firefox, not IE

**nick89** · 03-22-2005, 02:46 AM

Hello All, Im having a rather odd problem -

take the following

Code:

<form action="http://moid.org/ms_query/do_ms_query.py" method="post" name="findform">
<input type="hidden" name="buddies" value="*3lix*" />
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="blist" />
<a name="hereforlink"></a>
<b><a href="#hereforlink" onclick="findform.submit();">Click Here to Find<br />3lix members currently<br />playing online.</a></b><br />(may take a few seconds)<br /><br />
</form>

it works brilliantly with firefox, but gives a 404 in IE?
any suggestions would be gretaly appreciated.

Code:

<form action="http://moid.org/ms_query/do_ms_query.py" method="post" id="findform" name="findform">
<input type="hidden" name="buddies" value="*3lix*" />
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="blist" />
<a name="hereforlink"></a>
<b><a href="#hereforlink" onclick="document.getElementById('findform').submit();">Click Here to Find<br />3lix members currently<br />playing online.</a></b><br />(may take a few seconds)<br /><br />
</form>

Try this. It uses a more universal method of referencing your form.

Stupid me:
I fixed it by refrencing the javascript in the href tag - cause i forgot i could do that.

ie.

Code:

<form action="http://moid.org/ms_query/do_ms_query.py" method="post" name="findform">
<input type="hidden" name="buddies" value="*3lix*" />
<input type="hidden" name="type" value="blist" />
<a name="hereforlink"></a>
<b><a href="javascript: document.findform.submit()">Click Here to Find<br />3lix members currently<br />playing UT2004 online.</a></b><br />(may take a few seconds)<br /><br />
</form>
