Hi, I'm having a problem that a person on another forum suggested I investigate with Firebug. I haven't managed to discover yet if Firebug can pinpoint what's going on here, and I'm extremely noobish in this arena (background is switches/routers, etc., not web pages/scripting, though I've dabbled, and have a general idea of events, programming, client vs. server, etc.)
The System: This is a PeopleSoft installation (3-tier - WebLogic web server, Tuxedo transaction management, MSSQL database). There is a generic search form, which appears with minor variations (title, etc.)in a number of navigational branches. The behaviour described below occurs in all the search pages I've investigated so far. There are 12 controls on the Search form. The controls execute code in various ways, for example: ~~http://ipAddress:port/psp/HCDEMO/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/?cmd=logout ~~javascript:processing_win1(0,3000);%20void%20window.open('http:// ipAddress:port/psp/HCDEMO_newwin/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/w/WORKLIST? ICAction=ICViewWorklist&Menu=Worklist&Market=GBL&PanelGroupName=WORKLIST','',''); ~~http://ipAddress:port/psp/HCDEMO_1/EMPLOYEE/HRMS/s/ WEBLIB_PTIFRAME.ISCRIPT1.FieldFormula.IScript_PT_Popup ~~javascript:CopyUrlToClipboard(); ~~javascript:submitAction_win1(document.win1,'#ICSwitchMode'); Some controls have application specific keyboard shortcuts. The Problem: Some controls operate correctly when clicked. Others do not. The controls that do NOT operate correctly when clicked, DO operate correctly in response to their keyboard shortcut. This behaviour has been observed in multiple versions of both IE and Firefox, on multiple workstations. All workstations and browser versions behave normally for all other web sites. Focusing in on Buttons, I've gotten to where I can Inspect Element and Inspect in Dom Tab for the Search button, and have copied and examined the HTML, the XPath, and the CSSPath for the button, obtaining the following: HTML: <input type="button" title="Search (Alt+1)" alt="Search (Alt+1)" tabindex="20" onclick="javascript:submitAction_win0(document.win0, '#ICSearch');" value="Search" class="PSPUSHBUTTONTBSEARCH" name="#ICSearch" id="#ICSearch"> XPath: //*[@id="#ICSearch"] CSSPath: html body.PSSRCHPAGE form div#win0divSEARCHBELOW a#Left.PSPUSHBUTTON span input##ICSearch.PSPUSHBUTTONTBADD I've also been able to observe that the form HTML for the form containing the button has a number of Input elements, including the following: <input type="hidden" value="None" id="ICAction" name="ICAction"> I've been able to observe that the value for the above Input element changes to #ICSearch when I click the Submit button I have NOT been able to make any use of Profile Javascript (Ctrl/Shft/ P) - Is that likely to help with this problem? Also, noticed on the Extensions page in the Wiki there's an extension called Eventbug - Would that extension possibly tell me something new about this problem? Any and all hints or additional things I can try either with Firebug, or some other tool, will be most deeply appreciated...
