Thread: PHP / Java scripting help.

Bah I wish I still remembered what I learned about Java

Thanks lol.

I don't know php, but your HTML form is formed unusually, and probably is the problem.

<a href="javascript: submitform()">SUBSCRIBE</a></form>

I'm not familiar with any built-in function called submitform(). Is this supposed to be a user-defined function you didn't include?

It would probably be easier to, instead of using an anchor tag to use the submit type of input for the form.

<input type="Submit" title="SUBSCRIBE">

Or if you really want it to be an anchor tag, you'll need a javascript function such as:

function submitform()
{
document.email_form.submit();
}

Your javascript for submitting the form probably wrong
(and seeing as your not doing any client side validation, using JS just to submit the form seems pointless)

Try replacing

Code:

<a href="javascript: submitform()">SUBSCRIBE</a>

with

Code:

<input type="submit" value="SUBSCRIBE">

*edit*
beaten to it

The reason I have gone for the <a href="javascript: submitform()">SUBSCRIBE</a></form> is to avoid the crappy boxes put around the "submit"

I had it working on another site, but for this one it doen't. Using the same code. This is the page (none of the other files/CSS are linked with this, but you can see the subscribe bit working: http://www.djadamash.com/index_.htm

Weird....

I think that'll only work in IE

if you really want JS
better to use

Code:

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

where would I stick that?

ignore me I am a tool - I forgot to put the JS in the head of the page lmao!!!

I forgot to add:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
function submitform()
{
document.email_form.submit();
}
</SCRIPT>

DUH!

Code:

<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('email_form').submit();return false;">submit</a>

the "return false" ensures that the text link doesn't interfere with the php redirection

Learn to use style sheets. They are your friend.

I do use them religiosly, however, as I am sure it is evident, I am a beginner at all this, learning fast though. I am learning to use them day by day though.

It seems to be working now after adding the info at the top, so thanks for your help guys
