refused by Opera

[namida]

My page doesn't work when I tested in Opera. It works in IE though. I only have those two browsers

I took the code from one the forum
But it even refused alert.

Anyone knows what I'm doing wrong?

function subForm(){
   
  for (x=0; x<document.myForm.elements.length; x++){
    if (document.myForm.elements[x].value == &quot;&quot;){
      alert(&quot;Please fill in all blanks&quot;)
      return false;
    }
  }
  alert(&quot;Hello!&quot;);
  //now that we've checked the form, submit it to new window
  formWin = window.open(&quot;about:blank&quot;,&quot;formWin&quot;,&quot;height=420,width=470&quot;)
  document.myForm.action = &quot;tryout2.php&quot;
  document.myForm.method = &quot;post&quot;
  document.myForm.target = &quot;formWin&quot;
  document.myForm.submit()
}
</script>

<form name=&quot;myForm&quot;>
<input type=text name=&quot;f_name&quot;>
<input type=button value=&quot;Submit&quot; onClick=&quot;subForm()&quot;>
</form>

thanks!

notes from memory on Opera (not able to test now though)

alert needs to be window.alert

you have a return false; but do not call by return
eg:
onClick="return subForm()">

and no return true;


I am not sure you can dynamicaly change the form attributes in Opera this way but again this is from memory and connot test. possibly someone else can take that into a reply

Thanks for the reply.
I tried window.alert .. didn't work as well

I'm using the version 7.1.

well, I guess looking at the slight things such as the missing " " could be tried
eg: (always surround values in" &quot
<form name=&quot;myForm&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;f_name&quot;>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; onClick=&quot;return subForm()&quot;>
</form>

I would add a alert to the opening of the function to see if it runs at all and is being called on the event. if this statement
if (document.myForm.elements[x].value == &quot;&quot{
is true everytime then the return false may be preventing what I think you think you should see no matter what in this line
alert(&quot;Hello!&quot;

so try this and see if the alert comes up
function subForm(){
window.alert(&quot;Hello!&quot;

Hi!
I surrounded everything with &quot; &quot; and also
moved the alert. It now looks like :

<script>
function subForm(){
window.alert(&quot;Hello!&quot;
  for (x=0; x<document.myForm.elements.length; x++){
    if (document.myForm.elements[x].value == &quot;&quot{
      window.alert(&quot;Please fill in all blanks&quot
      return false;
    }
  }

  //now that we've checked the form, submit it to new window
  formWin = window.open(&quot;about:blank&quot;,&quot;formWin&quot;,&quot;height=420,width=470&quot
  document.myForm.action = &quot;tryout2.php&quot;
  document.myForm.method = &quot;post&quot;
  document.myForm.target = &quot;formWin&quot;
  document.myForm.submit()
}
</script>

<form name=&quot;myForm&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;f_name&quot;>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; onClick=&quot;return subForm()&quot;>
</form>

It works in IE again, still not working in Opera.

Thanks though!
