help with JavaScript in PHWeb screen

Wed, 27 Jun 2001 12:49:20 -0400

You don't get the error - that's good. I don't know about the space - you'd
have to ask Simon. As for the DESIGNER procedure, presumably it's running or
you'd get another type of error. What's it doing? Can you show us the code?

Thanks Jean

My HTML reference (HomeSite 4.0) does not have <FORM NAME=...> as an option.
It does show <FORM ID=...> but I tried that and it doesn't work.  At Bob D's
suggestion I tried using <FORM NAME=...> and now I don't get the JavaScript
error.  However the button doesn't call the LINKSCREEN as defined in the
designer procedure either.

Why do I need to put a space after CINV?

Regards,
Blue

You must give a name to your form, as in:

<form action="/cgi-bin/phcgi.exe" method="POST" name=form1>

Since you are using "form1" in your javascript.

Also the UserAction will be:

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

Note the is a blank(space) after the V and the quote.

This should resolve your problem.

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">

Regards,

Blue
