I have simple code that doesn't work on MAC,but does on PC.

Please help.

<% Action1 = LEFT(UCASE(REQUEST("SAVE1")),4)
If Action1 = "SAVE" Then
Response.Write "You are here ":Response.End
End If%>

<HTML><HEAD>
<script language="javascript">
function DisSave() {
document.all.Approval.disabled=true;
document.all.Save1.click();
}
</script></HEAD>

<BODY>
<form action="T3.asp" method="POST" name="main1">
<INPUT type="submit" value="Send:" name="Approval" onclick="DisSave();">
<SELECT name=SENDTOLST><OPTION value="None">None</OPTION></SELECT>
<input type="submit" value="Save" name="Save1" style="visibility:hidden">
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Try:

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
function DisSave() {
    document.getElementById('Approval').disabled = true;
    document.getElementById('Save1').click();
}
</script></

or

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
function DisSave() {
    document.forms['main1'].Approval.disabled = true;
    document.forms['main1'].Save1.click();
}
</script></

If you put alert msg before and after button you will see
that code executed, but button doesn't click.

function DisSave() {

document.all.Approval.disabled=true;

alert("before button");
document.all.Save1.click();
alert("after button");
}

Try this:

Code:

<form action="T3.asp" method="POST" name="main1" onsubmit="DisSave();">
  <INPUT type="submit" value="Send:" name="Approval">
  <SELECT name=SENDTOLST>
    <OPTION value="None">None</OPTION></SELECT>
  <input type="submit" value="Save" name="Save1" style="visibility:hidden">   
</form>

Also, I don't believe you can click something that's hidden.

Have you thought that maybe the reason why is that you're not even using cLFlaVA's code? document.all is an IE only command which is probably why it's not working for the Mac. If you follow cLFlaVA's code from above by getting rid of the document.all from your code and referencing them in a different way then it might work. Here's my suggestion:

Code:

function DisSave() {
   document.forms['main1'].elements['Approval'].disabled=true;
   document.forms['main1'].elements['Save1'].click();
}

kaht-

I had noticed that. But then I took a step back and actually saw what he/she was trying to do: click a hidden button. I believe that's not possible. I also believe it would be easier to place the call to the function in the onsubmit event of the form, as I believe it's possible that disabling a button in it's own onclick event may cause problems.

Do you concur?

Any code doesn't work.
Maybe problem with the Mac browser 5.1
