iframe IE mac submit form

[jitseschaafsma]

I am using Filemaker, CDML and IE 5.2.3.
My pages contains some JS to submit a form to an iframe.
This code works good in a number of browser on windows platform.
However my IE has some problems with.

basicly this is the code (some of it )

<form action="FMPro" method="post" name="controls3" target="frame2">
<input type="hidden" name="-db" value="Projectmedewerkers.fp5">
<input type="hidden" name="-lay" value="L1">
<input type="hidden" name="-format" value="newproject.htm">
<input type="hidden" name="-error" value="newproject.htm">
<input type="hidden" name="ProjectId" value=[FMP-CurrentToken:5]>
<input type="hidden" name="PersId" value=[FMP-CurrentToken:5]>
<input type="hidden" name="uurtarief" value=[FMP-CurrentToken:5]>
<input type="hidden" name="verkooptarief" value=[FMP-CurrentToken:5]>

<input type="hidden" name="Urenbudget" value = 0>
<input type="hidden" name="-New">
</form>

<iframe name="frame2" id="2" height="0" width="0"></iframe>

Now i have this JS call : document.forms[2].submit()

and indeed a new record is created.

However, when i try to create two records:
document.forms[2].submit()
delayMS()
document.forms[2].submit()

only one record is created.


Is their something wrong with my code or doe IE on the mac have problems with iframe.

Thanks for any suggestion

I have a feeling that IE on MAC is performing as it should,try your code with NS /Mozilla browsers on MAC/Windows if it works then we have to see why it does not work for IE

Well, indeed the code works like a charm on a windows machine.

A strange thing is happening that with IE on a mac it appears that the first submit to the iframe reloads the original HTML page containing all the commands into the iframe. As a result ( i think) the second submit is never called because the focus has been changed (i think)

The only thing i want is a robust code that enables me to submit multiple forms without refreshing my html pages.

So please any help is appreciated getting this type os code to work

if something works like a charm on IE in Windows OS that does not meanit s the correct code...as I said try your code with NS/Mozilla browsers on windows if it works on those browsers then need to look inot it else just re write your code mainly the logic.
