JS failing to write button

I don't see why it is failing to write the button with the link.

MajorRecords is a variable.

Where is MajorRecords coming from? Is it coming from a php script? Why don't you just use php to write the link? From the looks of it though you haven't been understanding what we've been trying to tell you. All you need is a form that uses get for the method.

_Aerospace_Eng_,

Here is the sequence of events to provide the MajorRecords value:
1. A listbox is populated by a PHP script.
2. Based upon listbox selection, the value for textbox "MajorEdit3" is determined
3. MajorEdit3 is populated
4. The value of MajorEdit3 is then passed to the JS variable MajorRecords

The alert does reveal the correct information.

The above works fine. But I'm having trouble passing the MajorRecords value into the URL so that PHP can GET the value.

All the different attempts I've made have resulted in
DBEditMajor.php?position=undefined

OR

using the present code below; the button fails to be created.

The page I'm building allows the user to edit records from 4 different DB tables, so I can't use one form. I have to set up 4 HREF links, each calling a specific page to handle information (Majors, Minors, Concentrations and Theology).


<select name="Major" onchange="resolveData()"></select>

<input type="text" name="MajorEdit3" id="MajorEdit3" size="3">

function resolveData(){
var MajorRecords = (document.f1.MajorEdit3.value);
alert(MajorRecords);
}


The following allows the button to be created.

<!--<script type="text/javascript">document.write"-->
&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href='DBEditMajor.php' onclick='this.href+='?position='+MajorRecords'><input type='button' value='Save revisions' name='MajorRev' id='MajorRev' title='Store Major revisions' style='text-decoration: none' disabled ></a>
<!--"</script>-->

I still think you are overcomplicating this. You said the list box gets generated by php then onchange that value populates a box (this is the part that I think is pointless) and then it makes the url. Why not just
<form action="DBEditMajor.php" method="get">
<select name="position">
<!--generated php stuff here-->
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Save revisions">
</form>
The above WILL work. If it doesn't then you've done something wrong. Tge above should submit to DBEditMajor.php. Since it uses get for the method position=something should be appended to the url so the url would look like
DBEditMajor.php?position=selectedvalue

Here is a link to a chained select form that does something similar to what you are doing - http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex16/chainedselects/index.htm

To use this code, and the same for what your current code is doing, once you select items/fill in form fields, you just submit the form. You can use either the POST or GET method, you don't have to build you own url to submit data.

There are 10's or 100's of thousands of forms like yours on the Internet, where selecting a value in one drop down, populates something else, which you then select an item... Those 10's of thousands of programmers that created these did not do it the way you are attempting. It is not as hard as you are making it.

Edit: Is there a location where a complete and current version of all of your main code is posted so that someone might try it. I previously tried code you posted here just to see what the form looked like. Perhaps someone can try this and point out the specific changes to the form to cause it to submit.

Edit2: After playing with the form and reviewing a few of your other threads related to this, I have a short answer to the problem - the name of the input field/$_POST variable will tell you where the data originated at and where it needs to be updated/added/deleted... If any of the four choices was not changed, you can either detect this in PHP code (for example having a hidden field with the original selection, if any and comparing what is selected with what was sent) or you can just put the same data into an UPDATE statement (mysql detects if the current value and the new value are the same and does not bother to update where the new value is the same as the existing value.)

Here's the source code; and it's a lot. :)

Select, Add, Edit and Delete page (Populating, Selecting and Adding to DB works fine. Focusing only on editing records.)
There is a .js include file; code is shown at bottom.
Removed irrelevant code.

Developing for IE and Firefox. My past attempts with multiple FORMS in IE have failed. IE sees the first complete form but wouldn't follow up on the remaining forms.

All-in-one page.

I have part of an answer as to why this does not work - you cannot define a javascript function in the body of the document and call it. Functions must be defined in the head section of the document.

Edit: Also, your middle piece of code with the notice messages for - MajorRecords. This is apparently from the PHP code file. There is no form input field with that name and no url parameter with that name, so if you attempt to do a $_GET['MajorRecords'] or $_POST['MajorRecords'] it will fail.

Made some changes.

Functions must be defined in the head section of the document.

Moved the following code to the .js include file. The ALERT is still presenting the correct data based upon selection.
function resolveData(){
var MajorRecords = (document.f1.MajorEdit3.value);
//alert('second - called from function');
alert(MajorRecords);
}

I'll will try using one FORM for the four individual SUBMIT buttons. THANKS!

With everyone's assistance, I believe I have found a solution for my project.

Thank you! :thumbsup:
