asp_databases thread: Help! My submit buttons don't do anything on Apple Macs!!
Message #1 by "Dirk Kinvig" <dirk.welsh@p...> on Tue, 18 Jul 2000 16:28:11

I have been using the Beginning ASP db book and got as far as chpt 10.
I tried out the "tryitout-1.htm" on an Apple Mac, the page downloaded fine
but when I came to use the submit button NOTHING happened! Not even an
error message.
I'm trying to create an intranet project and some my company use Macs. I
don't want to create a project that not everyone can use.
Can anyone help me/guide me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
Dirk

show us the code. i have developed asp pages that work on a lot of browsers
netscape/ie on pcs/macs. I have had similar problems. What you have to
remember is that the ASP is most certainly not to blame. It is most likely
a problem eith your HTML. Somebrowsers recover from error better than
others. In this respect Netscape is worse that IE.
Try looking at the page on IE on a PC and then copying the source and
viewing on the mac.

Hi there Tristan
I'm using Internet Explorer on both the pcs & Macs
The code for my project is v. similar to the code for the ASP db Book which
follows, any help/tips would be greatly appreciated:
<HTML>
<script language=vbscript>
Sub btnSubmit_OnClick()
'The only required fields at this point are
'club name and club code
If Len(frmAdd.txtClubName.value) = 0 Then
Alert "You must enter a club name"
frmAdd.txtClubName.focus
Exit Sub
ElseIf Len(frmAdd.txtClubCode.value) = 0 Then
Alert "You must enter a club code"
frmAdd.txtClubCode.focus
Exit Sub
End If
'If we make this far then submit the form
Call frmAdd.submit()
End Sub
</script>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0">
<TITLE>Chapter 10 - SQL Statements That Modify Data</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Try It Out #1 - Add A New Club Form<br><br>
<form action=TryItOut-2.asp method=post name=frmAdd>

AFAIK VBScript is supported by IE, and only on the PC, not the Mac.
Use Javascript instead...
Also, when using HTML, always delimit your attribute values with " marks.
<input type="text" name="txtfield1" value="somevalue">
...etc...
It'll save you lots of hassles latter on, especially if you use databases
and ASP pages.
Cheers
Ken
