Form submit problems

[Horus_Kol]

I need to do a little pre-processing on some form data before sending it to the server, so I have an onclick event on my "send" button which calls the following function:


function support_email_submit()
{
var email_list_target_options = document.forms[0].email_list_target.options;
for (i = 0; i < email_list_target_options.length; i++)
{
email_list_target_options[i].selected = true;
}

document.forms[0].submit();
}


however, I get an error on the submit() - it says it is not a function...

it doesn't work when I use the form's name, either...

any ideas?

You could use the onsubmit handler of the form, rather than the onclick of the button. Then it'd just submit automatically once the function is finished.

sry if im totally off here but just trying to helpout:)
should it be this.
function support_email_submit()
{
var email_list_target_options = document.forms[0].email_list_target.options;
for (i = 0; i < email_list_target_options.length; i++)
{
document.forms[0].[i].options[ document.forms[0].[i].selectedIndex ].value = 'true';
}

document.forms[0].submit();

}
or did i misunderstand/misread/not get your original code:confused: good luck
i probley misread your code or dont get it, but i thought you were reading list values, and thats the way i usually do it,, if so id try replacing them through out. lol that may be totally wrong:crying:

Rys - hmm.. okay, I'll give that a go...

blackpepper, the whole point of:
var email_list_target_options = document.forms[0].email_list_target.options;
is so that you can use email_list_target_options as an alias for the options array of a select instead of having to write the whole thing out again and again through your script.

okay - it submits :) thanks

moving on...
now, my list of selected emails is not being submitted.

I have a select box on one side of the form ("email_list_full") with all names of registered intranet users, and a second select ("email_list_target") with the names of the intended recipients.

I use javascript to move select addresses from the full list into the target list...

but when I submit the form, I don't see the second select ("email_list_target") in my POST array...

I have attached the HTML page (slightly edited - no real names and so on).

Thanks in advance

Your whole script seems to be erroring out. I'm wondering why you are using the brackets for your calls to your ids and names.
emails[email_selected_idx]['id']
It seems like you think the ids are in some type of array.

hmmm... seems I uploaded the wrong file - sorry...

This one should do it
