submit Two html forms with one javascript onclick event with Chrome

**RCgua** · 04-14-2011, 10:00 AM

I have a web page with two forms, when I click the button on one of the forms, the onclick event goes to a javascript that emails the first form and then the second form. This is correct, this is the way I want this to work. It's simple, it's easy, it works!
However, it only works in FireFox and Internet Explorer, it will not work in Google Chrome browser.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
  <head>
  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1250">
  <title></title>
  </head>
  <body>
<form id="NameForm" method="post" action="mailto:yourFirstemail@email.com">
Name: <input type="text" size="10" name="name"> <br />
<input onclick=functionCaller() type="button" value="Submit Two Forms"> 
</form>

<form id="AddressForm" name="DComments" method="post" action="mailto:yourSecondemail@email.com">
Address: <input type="text" size="10" name="address"> <br />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function functionCaller()
{
document.getElementById('NameForm').submit();
document.getElementById('AddressForm').submit();
}
-->
</script>
</body>
</html>

The first thing I notice is the call to the javascript function (the value for onclick) isn't even quoted...

Modern browsers seem to be a lot less forgiving to quirky markup, so I'd suggest trying that... if all else fails validate the document to see what else is wrong.

Hope this helps!

thanks, for noticing, I changed the line below but it still works fine in IE and FF but not Chrome. I will validate (again) and fix any other errors.

Code:

<input type="button" onclick="functionCaller()" value="Submit Two Forms">
