Javascript working in IE but not in Firefox

rravenn · Apr 3, 2005

I want to add buttons with characters to the page, creating on-page keyboard for weird-latin letters - ones with cedillas, breves etc.

I have the following code:

<button type="button" onclick="javascript:addCharacter(this);">ğ</button>

Fucntion is defined in the <head> and is like this:

Code:

function addCharacter(tsource)
{
	//alert(tsource.innerText);
	searchform.q.value += tsource.innerText;
	searchform.q.focus();
}

Everything's ok in IE, but in Firefox, alert returns undefined if I uncomment it, and nothing works. Why's that?

try this, works for me

Code:

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function addCharacter(tsource)
{
    //alert(tsource.innerText);
    searchform.q.value += tsource.value;
    searchform.q.focus();
}
</script>

</head>
<body>

<form action="" method="post" name="searchform" id="searchform">
<input type="text" name="q">
<input type="button" onclick="addCharacter(this);" value="&#287;">
</form>
</body>

</html>

Have you tried this:

<input type="button" onclick="addCharacter(this);" value="ğ" />

and

function addCharacter(tsource)
{
alert(tsource.value);
searchform.q.value += tsource.value;
searchform.q.focus();
}

Yours is the whole page, mine is just code snippets. Anyway, that should confirm what a correct solution is.
