javascript: onChange='document.archived.submit();' problem

[mameha1977]

Ive spent hours trying to fix this annoying problem.

I have some code the shows a dropdown list. When you select an item, the page reloads via javascript so as to save the selection. This code works perfectly on one page, but when I copy it into another page it stops working.

This is the code:

HTML: Select all

<form name='archived' method='post' action='/admin/vacancyListing.php'>
        <td>
        <input type='hidden' name='job_id' value='8'>
        <select name='visible' onChange='document.archived.submit();'>
            <option value='yes' class='pending' selected>Yes</option>
            <option value='no' class='approved'>No</option>

        </select>
        </td>
        </form>

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Is your form name='archived' on every page?

on the other pages it is archived0 or something. theres some counter being appended to the form. i took it out as it seemed pointless and it wasnt working anyway with that.

Because of the way your JavaScript is written, it will only work if the form has the same name on every page.

Otherwise you will get a meesage something like: 'Object missing'.
