help with JavaScript in PHWeb screen

Wed, 27 Jun 2001 12:23:33 -0400

Why are you using JavaScript?  Are you doing additional stuff not shown in
your example?

If not, you can just use:

<input type="submit" name="PH_ACTION" value="RUN">

Where RUN is the name of the designer procedure.  Just make sure it is
within your <form> </form> tags.

G'day all

Environment: 
PH Web 2.21D3
PH 4GL 8.21D4
I.E. 5.0
Windows NT 4.0 sp6

I am trying to create a button on a PH Web HTML template where the button
will trigger a designer procedure.  When I run the template in IE5.0 and
click on the resulting button I get this JavaScript error:

-------------------------------------------------------
A runtime error has occurred.

Error: 'self.document.form1.PH_ACTION' is not an object
-------------------------------------------------------

Anybody know what the problem here is (besides me)?

Using the example in the documentation I have I have coded some JavaScript
as follows:

<script language="JavaScript">
 <!--
 function UserAction( action )
 {
  self.document.form1.PH_ACTION.action = action;
  self.document.form1.submit();
 }
 //-->
</script>
</head>
<body bgcolor="grey">

<!--PH:RECORD-->
<form action="/cgi-bin/phcgi.exe" method="POST">

The syntax used to in the body of the form is:

   <input type="button" onclick="UserAction('CINV')" value="Select Specific
Invoice">
