I do need some help can anyone look at this and tell me what i need to do

[fshaw]

The following is I have taken the templete calendarjump from and used with the calendar.php and i modifyed the templete so that I could use a function to process the selected calandar in the dropdown menu.

First i need to ask is does the java script can be in the templete its self or does it have to reside out side the templete.

Second is the following templete i am playing with I have added java script to the templete as you will see but my linking bettween the templete the form and the java script is not seem to working for me.

Do i have to register something for it to work?

When i press the "Go" button nothing happens can someone take a quick look and tell what i am going worng here THANKS

<script type="text/javascript"> process_selected(form) {

 

        this.form.submit();

     

}

</script>

 

 

<form action="calendar.php" method="get">

<div class="smallfont" style="text-align:$stylevar[left]; white-space:nowrap">

            <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

            <input type="hidden" name="month" value="$month" />

            <input type="hidden" name="year" value="$year" />

            <input type="hidden" name="do" value="$docalendar" />

        <strong>$vbphrase[Lodge_Calendar]</strong><br />

        <select name="c" >

                <optgroup label="$vbphrase[please_select_one]">

                   $jumpcalendarbitsl

                </optgroup>

        <input type="hidden" name="me" value='2'" />

        </select>

          <input type="button" value="Go" onclick="process_selected(this.form)" <br />

     </div>

</form>

Why are you using javascript simply to submit the form? Why not just use a normal submit button, or am I missing something?

Also, when defining a function, you need to include the word "function" before the name of the actual function, for proper syntax. So the beginning would be:

function process_selected(form) {

So my java script should look like this

<script type="text/javascript"> function process_selected(form) {

        this.form.submit();

}

</script> 

and can be located in the templete calendarjump ?

I need to be able to do more then just a form submit but before that i need to get my handshakeing between the java script and my form to work first.

I need to be able to add some logic to cause some logic variables etc. before submitting the form that is why i need to have my form call a function before doing some form submit.

So it is not as simple as one would think.

I need to tell if my java script is being called now that my leastest version of my templete i now get my selection in the dropdown to actual display the correct calendar the one selected by the user in the drop down.

Here is the working copy you can see the changes i had to make!

 <script type="text/javascript"> function process_selected(this.form) {
          
             on.form.submit();
}
</script>

<form action="calendar.php" method="get">
<div class="smallfont" style="text-align:$stylevar[left]; white-space:nowrap">
    <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="month" value="$month" />
    <input type="hidden" name="year" value="$year" />
    <input type="hidden" name="do" value="$docalendar" />
        <strong>$vbphrase[Lodge_Calendar]</strong><br />
        <select name="c" >
                <optgroup label="$vbphrase[please_select_one]">
                   $jumpcalendarbitsl
                </optgroup>
        <input type="hidden" name="me" value='2'" />
        </select>
          <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="$vbphrase[go]" onclick="process_selected(this.form)" <br />
     </div>
</form> 

Ok The above works but how can i debug my java script so that I know it is being called without have header output errors which would happen if i just do a echo someone must have a trick that i can use.

I could do a echo and then exit but that will not really helo if i want to keep the web page coming up and if i use the echo the web page will over write my echo?

Try an alert

alert('This is working!');

[fshaw]

This is my least try it getting this to work for me and I tried the alert and it still does not seem to be working yet?

Can you help me by reviewing the following:

<script type="text/javascript"> function process_selected(form) {
                        
             alert('This is working!');
             
             form.submit();
}
</script>


<form name="myfrom" action="calendar.php" method="get" onsubmit="process_selected(this)" >
<div class="smallfont" style="text-align:$stylevar[left]; white-space:nowrap">
    <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="month" value="$month" />
    <input type="hidden" name="year" value="$year" />
    <input type="hidden" name="do" value="$docalendar" />
        <strong>$vbphrase[Lodge_Calendar]</strong><br />
        <select name="c" >
                <optgroup label="$vbphrase[please_select_one]">
                   $jumpcalendarbitsl
                </optgroup>
        <input type="hidden" name="me" value='2'" />
        </select>
          <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="$vbphrase[go]" onclick="process_selected(this.form)" > <br />
     </div>
</form>
