Dynamic input field doesnt post in IE.

I have a dynamic input field that doesnt send its value.

Hi

I have a select menu, and if the user chooses the alternative "annan", a new input fields shows up where the user can input a value.

This method works fine in safari, but in IE, the added input field doesnt submit to the server side script.

Here is what I have:

javascript:

function moreFields(what,more) {

c = what.options[what.selectedIndex].value;
r = document.getElementById(more);

if (c == "annan") r.innerHTML = ' -> <input name="place" class="input" maxlength="60" type="text" style="width:130px;" />';

}

html:

<select name="place_s" onchange="moreFields(this.form.place_s,'custom_scene',);" class="select" style="width: 150px;">
<option value="">test1</option>
<option value="annan">annan</option>
</select>
<span id="custom_scene"></span>

Now, when I print out the post values from here, using php print_r($_POST) there is no $_POST['place'] value! In safari, there is, but not in IE. Why doesnt the javascript work as it should?

Any reply would be greatly aprechiated.

What does the "->" in your innerHTML assignment accomplish?

Nothing really, just a visual guide. Its in javascript, thats why its not html encoded.

An Idea: would it be better to use a hidden input field and then just change it to text when the user chooses "annan".? So instead of having a innerHTML, I just change the input type to "text", thus making it editable.

maybe maybe...

I've had no problems with IE doing exactly what you describe. Which IE version are you referring to?

[Bonusbana]

I am reffering to IE5/mac, both osx and classic. I will do some further testing later today.

Can anyone confirm this works in IE/win?

Yes, dynamic fields work in IE/Win (and all other browsers I have tested). I have even been able to get it to work in NN4 in the past :)
