Hi

Please could anyone help a.s.a.p

I have a login form which works fine in explorer but won't work in netscape can anyone help.

I have the following code in the head of the document

function Login(form) {
var form = document[0];
var username = form.username.value;
var password = form.password.value;
var server = form.server.value;
if (username && password && server) {
var htsite = "http://" + username + ":" + password + "@" + server;
window.location = htsite;
function login() {
var username = frmLogin.username.value;
var password = frmLogin.password.value;
var server = "217.34.217.125";
var site = "http://" + username + ":" + password + "@" + server;
child = window.open(site,'child','');
test();
}


And the following in the body

<form name=login>
<input type="hidden" name="server" value="217.34.217.122/Prod
Cat/default.asp?Region=Compressor">

The first thing I can see is the line

var form = document[0];


you should probably change that to

var form = document.login;

or

document.forms[0];

Gollum has put you on the right track but you should get the latest version of Netscape, Mozilla or Firebird and use its built in Javascript Console to debug your scripts.

Hi

Thank you gollum, that seemed to help a bit but it is still not functioning properly.


Also thanks for that tip ray326, I will try out the netscape debugger this evening and see if that helps me to figure it out.

Thanks again to both of you for your quick response, very much appreciated.

All you do is open it using Tools/Web Development/JavaScript Console then view a page containing your script. You can also type snippets of Javascript into the text box under the toolbar and it will evaluate that and present the results in the log area below.
