unable to programmatically perform a submit
Hi,
I am trying to get an image map working that does a submit.
The image map itself works.
However, when I click on the image area it complains when trying to execute the submit.
Error: object doesn't support this property or method.
I have tried just performing a submit without the event assignment, like so:
<MAP NAME="MyMap">
<AREA SHAPE="Rect" NOHREF COORDS="82,2 163,23" OnClick="document.forms[0].submit();">
</MAP>
This works in my non-struts form version.
Here is the html output:
<MAP NAME="MyMap">
<AREA SHAPE="Rect" NOHREF COORDS="82,2 163,23" OnClick="document.forms[0].event.value='SELECT_COURSE';document.forms[0].submit();">
</MAP>
<img src="/LAPS1/VirtualClassroomWAR/images/tab1a.gif" border="0" usemap="#MyMap">
struts version
<strutshtml:html>
....
<strutshtml:form action="editPersonalInfo.do" name="personalInfoForm" type="com.bmo.ifl.laps.forms.PersonalInfoForm">
....
<MAP NAME="MyMap">
<AREA SHAPE="Rect" NOHREF COORDS="82,2 163,23" OnClick="document.forms[0].event.value='SELECT_COURSE';document.forms[0].submit();">
</MAP>
<strutshtml:img usemap="#MyMap" pageKey="page.editPersonalInfo.tabImage" border="0" />
...
</strutshtml:form>
</strutshtml:html>
non-struts version - this works
<form id=f1>
<MAP NAME="MyMap2">
<AREA SHAPE="Rect" NOHREF COORDS="82,2 163,23" OnClick="document.forms[1].event.value='SELECT_COURSE';f1.submit();">
</MAP>
<img USEMAP="#MyMap2" SRC="<%= request.getContextPath() %>/images/tab1a.gif" BORDER="0" >
<input type=text name=event value=UPDATE_PERSONAL_INFO>
</form>
I don't believe the image map is the problem.
I think that there is just some reason why it will not except a submit() programmatically.
Thanks,
Michelle

Thank you very much.
I renamed my submit buttons to something other than submit and now I can
programmatically call submit.
Thanks again,
Michelle

Bill,
Did you name your submit button "submit" ?
I came across this problem as well.
It appears that you cannot name an object on your screen the same thing
as
a javascript action, for example, submit().
When I renamed by submit button to "btnSubmit" it worked fine.

Michelle,
I had the exact same issue in IE and it had to do with having an actual submit or reset button as part of the form. For some reason, If I had a submit button on the form, performing a submit in javascript yeilded the error that you see. When I remove the submit button (or reset button), the error goes away. Don't know why this is.
HTH,

Sorry, I didn't follow the complete thread. We ran in the same problem
and found that the default property "submit" for the
name of the submit tag in org.apache.struts.taglib.html.SubmitTag
doesn't by no means works well with javascript (since
it is the same as the javascript method name submit()). The quick solution is,
to set the property attribute in the submit tag to something else,
e.g. <html:submit property="foo">. Or try strutsx.

We use this bit of code to trigger the submit button in the body from the

RE: unable to programmatically perform a submit
Posted by Chuck Stern <cs...@safenetconsulting.com>.
Hi,
I've spent some time on this problem as well and it is very strange. I
wasn't using an image map but instead just trying to get a HREF link to
submit. I tried having an onclick that called a javascript function that
did a submit as well as a submit in the onclick itself. I tried using
document.forms[0] as well as using the form name. All of the above examples
WORKED when I didn't use the struts <html:form tag. As soon as I used the
struts <html:form tag I'd get an error saying the submit() was invalid.
Ultimately I switched to a <html:submit button which worked, although it's
not the presentation I'd prefer. I don't think this is what you want with
your image map. I'm still looking into it to see what's going on.

Subject: Re: unable to programmatically perform a submit
Yes, I am referencing 0 and 1 because I am running both forms on the same
page (simultaneously).
The 0 is for the struts form and the 1 is for the non-struts form.
I can programmatically, submit no problem on the non-struts form but not on
the struts form.
The struts form tag in the generated html looks like this:
<form name="personalInfoForm" method="POST"
action="/LAPS1/VirtualClassroomWAR/editPersonalInfo.do" id="form1">
the non-struts form looks like this:
<form id=f1>
Because I can submit the second form using the index 1, this means that the
page recognizes that there is something in position 0, but that it seems
that it has somehow been rendered in such a way that it can't be
programmatically submitted using javascript.
I have also tried using the form name instead of the index and the results
are the same.
What has struts done to my form to make it not work? I don't know....
Has anyone else out there been able to make this work?
Thanks,
Michelle

Re: unable to programmatically perform a submit
Posted by Michelle Popovits <mp...@silverstream.com>.
Yes, I am referencing 0 and 1 because I am running both forms on the same
page (simultaneously).
The 0 is for the struts form and the 1 is for the non-struts form.
I can programmatically, submit no problem on the non-struts form but not on
the struts form.
The struts form tag in the generated html looks like this:
<form name="personalInfoForm" method="POST"
action="/LAPS1/VirtualClassroomWAR/editPersonalInfo.do" id="form1">
the non-struts form looks like this:
<form id=f1>
Because I can submit the second form using the index 1, this means that the
page recognizes that there is something in position 0, but that it seems
that it has somehow been rendered in such a way that it can't be
programmatically submitted using javascript.
I have also tried using the form name instead of the index and the results
are the same.
What has struts done to my form to make it not work? I don't know....
Has anyone else out there been able to make this work?
Thanks,
Michelle

Re: unable to programmatically perform a submit

hi michelle,
i see a main difference between your struts version and your non-struts
version. on the struts version you have forms[0] referencing your form and
on the second one you have forms[1].
the secure way to talk to forms by JavaScript is to reference the form by
name.
document.formName.submit();
or
document.formName.elementName.value = "something";
hope this will help you.

Subject: unable to programmatically perform a submit
Hi,
I am trying to get an image map working that does a submit.
The image map itself works.
However, when I click on the image area it complains when trying to execute
the submit.
Error: object doesn't support this property or method.
I have tried just performing a submit without the event assignment, like so:
<MAP NAME="MyMap">
<AREA SHAPE="Rect" NOHREF COORDS="82,2 163,23"
OnClick="document.forms[0].submit();">
</MAP>
This works in my non-struts form version.
Here is the html output:
<MAP NAME="MyMap">
<AREA SHAPE="Rect" NOHREF COORDS="82,2 163,23"
OnClick="document.forms[0].event.value='SELECT_COURSE';document.forms[0].sub
mit();">
</MAP>
<img src="/LAPS1/VirtualClassroomWAR/images/tab1a.gif" border="0"
usemap="#MyMap">
struts version
<strutshtml:html>
....
<strutshtml:form action="editPersonalInfo.do" name="personalInfoForm"
type="com.bmo.ifl.laps.forms.PersonalInfoForm">
....
<MAP NAME="MyMap">
<AREA SHAPE="Rect" NOHREF COORDS="82,2 163,23"
OnClick="document.forms[0].event.value='SELECT_COURSE';document.forms[0].sub
mit();">
</MAP>
<strutshtml:img usemap="#MyMap" pageKey="page.editPersonalInfo.tabImage"
border="0" />
...
</strutshtml:form>
</strutshtml:html>
non-struts version - this works
<form id=f1>
<MAP NAME="MyMap2">
<AREA SHAPE="Rect" NOHREF COORDS="82,2 163,23"
OnClick="document.forms[1].event.value='SELECT_COURSE';f1.submit();">
</MAP>
<img USEMAP="#MyMap2" SRC="<%= request.getContextPath() %>/images/tab1a.gif"
BORDER="0" >
<input type=text name=event value=UPDATE_PERSONAL_INFO>
</form>
I don't believe the image map is the problem.
I think that there is just some reason why it will not except a submit()
programmatically.
Thanks,
Michelle
