Hi every body,

document.getElementById and document.getElementByName is not working in FF

this my code:
<HTML>
<script>
function Foo(){

// if(document.getElementById('button'))
if(document.getElementByName('button')) { alert('gi');
document.myform.button.disabled = true;}

}

function check(){
if(document.myform.Lee.checked)
document.myform.button.disabled = true;
else
document.myform.button.disabled = false;
}

</script>

<BODY>
<br><br><br><br><br>

<form name='myform'>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100" align="center">

<tr align="left" valign="top" ><td>User Name :
<input type = "text" size=25>
</td>

</tr>

<tr align="left" valign="top" ><td>Passowrd :
<input type = "password" size=25>
</td>
</tr>

<tr align="left" valign="top" >

<td align=right><input type = "checkbox" size=35 name="Lee" onclick='check()'>
Remember my username </td>
</tr>

<tr align="left" valign="top" >

<td align="center"><input type="button" onclick="Foo()" name='button' value="Login"></td>

try changing the names to ids, that should help, i didn't know there was a getElementByName() function...

Yeah, name and ID are different. You must add the ID attribute.

Personally I dont like name, ID should always be unique so I tend to stick with that, as for why it isn't working

Code: Select all

<input type="button" onclick="Foo()" name='button' value="Login">

Simple there you have the name but not the id

Code: Select all

<input type="button" onclick="Foo()" name='button' value="Login" id="button">

that is how the syntax should look
