Can't type in my form!

ddumond · Post by **ddumond** » Fri Aug 19, 2005 6:32 am

I'm testing out the script and ran into a lil bump in the road!

I set-up a form in the menu like so:

with(milonic=new menuname("Search")){
style=menuStyle;
aI("text=<form method=post action=http://www.laurentian.ca/cgi-bin/htsearch_e.cgi><input type=text name=words size=15><input type=submit value=go></form>");
}

And it looks fine, however when I got to put text in it... nothing happens?!

Here's the link: http://www.dumondcreations.com/clients/bms/

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

****FOLLOW UP!****
I'm on the Mac platform (safari/explorer), not sure if it makes a difference! I can get it to type by "right clicking" in the box and can only get it to submit by pressing "enter"... I find this extremely odd because this isn't the case when I use the code outside the menu! Help!!!

You need a type=form; in there...

Code: Select all

aI("text=<form method=post action=http://www.laurentian.ca/cgi-bin/htsearch_e.cgi><input type=text name=words size=15><input type=submit value=go></form>;type=form;");
