Re: OT: Just a touch of Javascript
I's just fixin to suggest the onLoad event for the body tag when Jim stole it. It's going to be your best bet for doing this with JavaScript though... However, Isaac's suggestion about using CF for this is really your best bet! Have your form submit to a CF page, setup all your variables, and use a CFHTTP call with CFHTTPPARAM tags inside it to post your form submission to the cart engine... it'll guarantee that your system will work even if JS is off or there's an old browser or some other wierdness...

T o expand on this, is it really ok that this just not work at all if js is disabled? I'd stronlgy suggest *some* other architecture for gluing these two apps together.

Yea, that's IE being lenient. If you want to stick with the programmatic form submission solution, I think Dave Watts and Jim Davis (and somebody else?) have given you the answer to why the form is undefined. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p49777853/ http://www.sys-con.com/author/?id=4806 http://www.fusiontap.com ~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:202305 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
RE: OT: Just a touch of Javascript
Stricter browsers - like the ones you're having problems with - might balk at the fact that there's no tag. I believe forms are only allowed in the HTML BODYs. You might also want to take advantage of the script's ability to know when things are loaded and more your script into the body tag on the onload handler - something like this: Make sure to end the form tag, end the body tag and get rid of the script block completely.

If that code is verbatim, the tag hasn't happened yet when the script is called. The form object doesn't exist until its end tag closes it.

I don't know, but there shouldn't be any difference between that and document.forms.cart.submit() -- search the source, make sure there aren't 2 forms on the page both named "cart".
