Javascript: submit() problem

skrabut · Joined: 22 May 2005 Posts: 5

I am having problems having my form submit when called in a script.

This works:

if((cmin2==0)&&(csec2==0))
{alert("This works!");}
else {down=setTimeout("DownRepeat()",1000)};
}

This does not work:

if((cmin2==0)&&(csec2==0))
{document.this_form.submit();}
else {down=setTimeout("DownRepeat()",1000)};
}

My form is marked as follows:

<form action="gradeassessment.asp" method="post" name="this_form">

Can anyone shed some light on my problem?

Thanks a head.

You need to post the full script and form.

You have variables that mean nothing and no function

Here you go:

<script language=JavaScript>
var up,down;var min1,sec1;var cmin1,csec1,cmin2,csec2,theseminutes;
function Minutes(data) {
for(var i=0;i<data.length;i++)
if(data.substring(i,i+1)==":")
break;
return(data.substring(0,i));
}
function Seconds(data) {
for(var i=0;i<data.length;i++)
if(data.substring(i,i+1)==":")
break;
return(data.substring(i+1,data.length));
}
function Display(min,sec) {
var disp;
if(min<=9) disp=" 0";
else disp=" ";
disp+=min+":";
if(sec<=9) disp+="0"+sec;
else disp+=sec;
return(disp);
}

function Down(theseminutes) {
nMilliSeconds = ((theseminutes * 1000) * 60);
//oTimeOut = window.setTimeout("AutoSaveSubmit()",nMilliSeconds);
cmin2=1*Minutes(theseminutes);
csec2=0+Seconds("00");
DownRepeat();
}
function DownRepeat() {
csec2--;
if(csec2==-1) {
csec2=59; cmin2--;
}

//document.sw.disp2.value=Display(cmin2,csec2);
document.all.countdown.innerHTML=Display(cmin2,csec2);
if((cmin2==0)&&(csec2==0))
{document.this_form.submit();}
else {down=setTimeout("DownRepeat()",1000)};
}

// End -->

</script>

<form action="gradeassessment.asp" method="post" name="this_form" id=frmSubmit>
<div align='center'><table BORDER='0' CELLSPACING='0' CELLPADDING='0' width='90%'><tr><td><ol><li>Ð£ Ð¼Ð¾ÐµÐ¹ ÑÐµÑÑ‚Ñ€Ñ‹ ÐµÑÑ‚ÑŒ  <input type='text' name='1|n|198|~|74' size='20' value='ÐºÐ»ÑŽÑ‡' onkeypress='encrypt();'>  (ÐºÐ»ÑŽÑ‡).</li>

Hi,
So this is a timeout script?

What error do you get when it is supposed to submit?

This is a timeout script.

I receive no errors when it tries to submit. As I mentioned in my first message, when I use an alert in place of the submit it fires off with no problems.

What happens then if there is no error?

Nothing. The clock countsdown to zero and the page does not change.

Not sure what's wrong.
Do you have an online version to test?

I sent you a PM with instructions. Thanks for your assistance.

try replacing your input type="submit" with a href to javascript:submit();
