Hi there

I've got an online transaction going on my website in development; when I put myself in the customers shoes and put a transaction through on my Windows machine (infact any windows machine) the transaction works fine and it ends up displaying the correct page.

However, when I try it on a Mac it hangs on the validation page of the transaction; in the validation page I have a set of conditions that it has to pass - if it fails it directs to a particular failure page, if it succeeds, it directs to a particluar success page. When I view the source on the validation page that it is hanging on I see this:

 <form name="frm_pass_it_on_failed" action="http://myurl.com/t_failure.asp" method="POST">
        </form>

        <script>
            document.frm_pass_it_on_failed.submit();
        </script>

I'm not worried about it failing but what I don't understand is why it doesn't submit to http://myurl.com/t_failure.asp - does anyone know why this would be a problem with a Mac and if so, how can I rectify it.

Many thanks

Adam

Pity you can't debug it as you can on Windows...
Does adding type="text/javascript" to the script tags help?
Or perhaps you need a full reference to the form: Are there really no elements in the form, perhaps Mac doesn't like that?
Is it IE on the Mac, if so what version?

Hi Joe

It's IE 6 on the mac

the only other elements in the form are a couple of variables in the querystring which I removed when I posted the code up here. do you think it's the querystring which it doesn't like?

maybe it doesn't like posting the form before the page has fully loaded? Have you tried putting the code in the onload event of the body? I'm just guessing here BTW.

Got it - I took out the querystring variables and changed them to hidden variables and it works fine now - not sure why!

Hi, Adam,
I am having similar problem with you on a commerical site which I maintain, but on windows, browser IE6 too.Sometimes customers called us for complaining they didn't get receipt page after filling out credit card information and click submit button. Asp page is just hanging and never displayed to them, I am not sure if this is a problem because of query string behind the action or redirect. Can you tell me how to write a asp code to debug the the similar issue.

Hi there

What I did was change the way the variable was fetched from the querystring to a hidden variable.

Sorry about the delay in replying
