Firefox and JavaScript

[iany]

I have some very simple JavScripts which are used in upload forms (to format correctly) and which have a message at bottom of site. Work perfectly well in IE6 Opera but not Firefox. Does limit its effectiveness for me.
Any thoughts?

I would try to stay aaway from DOM and use 'get element by id' or 'name' for passing to the submit function.

DOM support varies much, as well as javascript libraries supported. There seems to be much that works in IE etc but not gecko.

document.FL.username.focus();
document.onkeydown = post_form;

Also, maybe gecko doesn't support 'onkeydown'?

PS I am not very good with javascript yet, so sorry if this isn't much. Just wanted to try anyways, you never know!

iany, you have a much larger problem than a non-cross-browser-compatible Javascript on your site.

I'm not sure what you coded this with (I'm guessing Front Page or another graphic editor, since I don't see the usual suspect Front Page code other than form name references), but it's generating some code that a tech-savvy individual with all the wrong intentions could turn around and do some serious damage with.

Rather than post code samples (because if you correct them and they still sit here, it might still pose a problem for you), look at any commented code beginning with <!--webbot . All of this code should be stored on the server side, and should never be outputted to the client side like this.

For example, you have an SQL query that states "Select * from [table name] order by [field name] DESC". The right guy with the wrong intentions could wipe that entire table out on you.

Get that stuff fixed up, and then worry about any JScript issues you have after that.
