Hi everyone,
I'm working on web applications this summer and I'm having an issue addressing a form that is help within a hidden iframe. I would like my page to upload photos to my server and then to Flickr without freshing the page. Since I had to do a post request I used a form within an Iframe that is not displayed. However, whenever I try to do a document.
formname.submit(), I'm presented with a
formname has no properties error. I've tried addressing it multiple different ways but with no luck each time. Does anyone have any suggestions? here's some of the code for my site. This is the line currently in the javascript.
Code:
document.postUploadForm.submit();
The html page is as follows.
Code:
<head>
<title>Batch Upload Flickr Photos</title>
<link href="upload.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/main.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/upload.js"></script>
<script src ="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=ABQIAAAA7EaXE5Ni5FkfpssrgwUw2BR-tLEIcZMYBCupoXZ7e-ffp3qUxhRlUl1gC0zBWs1Sq0MCDvd-mT4McQ" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="main.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"/>
</head>
