XHTML <form >

name attribute is replaced with id

[bumpaw]

In xhtml 1.0 strict the form name attribute is gone and id is in. The problem is that the Javascript that is associated with the form doesn't seem to like just changing to

<form id="jnl2_sign_form" action="">

I know nothing of Javascript but believe the key to lie here:

document.jnl2_sign_form.post

Hi bumpaw,

What about:

document.getElementById('jnl2_sign_form').submit();

Accessing the ID should allow you to manipulate the form?

Hey BlobFisk,
Very good! It works fine. I'm trying to validate a site that has several scripts so this problem will come up again for sure. I wonder if there is a reference site for Java the equivalent to www.php.net

Thanks,

[BlobFisk]

[java.sun.com...] would be the equivalent Java site.... But don't forget that Java is very different to JavaScript! Java is a programming language - JavaScript is a client side scriping language...

I don't forget but have a bad habit of typing Java when I mean JavaScript. I think this tutorial at w3c looks like a place for me to start. [w3schools.com...] I see also that there is a Forum here on the subject.

There are a number of excellent (*cough*) jumpstart tutorials in the JavaScript Forum Library [webmasterworld.com] that are also worth a look. A lot of common uses of JavaScript are outlined there.
