submit() in iframe trouble

ddprogrammer · #1 (**permalink**) Nov 5th, 2007, 09:57

Hi all,
Im new to this forum... any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a hidden "in between" page where I dynamically create a form and
hidden inputs using ASP that should submit to a second page where this data
will be used.
The form is automatically submitted using javascript. This code works in IE
and in Firefox.
The problem I am facing now is that the series of these same pages I am working with are now being used inside an iframe. Since this change, the javascript submit no longer works in Firefox, but does in IE.
Please see code below and tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks!

HTML: Select all

<html>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<body onload="document.getElementById('answer').submit();">
<form method=POST name='answer' id='answer' action=pagename.asp'>")
<input type=hidden name=Section value="1">
<input type=hidden name=survey value="10">
<input type=hidden name=resumeAt value='0'>
<input type=hidden name=Counter value="1">
</form>
</body>
</html>

I'm not sure what you mean... The hidden form is inside of an iframe or the the whole page is? Is the submit not sending the user page or is it just submitting the iframe?

Cheers,

The entire page is inside and iframe. It used to be a set of pages that worked on their own. We have since revamped the system and these pages are running inside an iframe.

The submit is supposed to submit just the code above, inside the iframe, and take the user to another page - inside the iframe. It works outside the iframe in Firefox. Once I added this page is inside the iframe, it no longer works in firefox.

Could be this line

<form method=POST name='answer' id='answer' action=pagename.asp'>")

try adding the extra quote

<form method=POST name='answer' id='answer' action='pagename.asp'>

Or try adding a target to the form

<form method=POST name='answer' id='answer' action='pagename.asp' target="_top">
