See the code here
I am trying to submit the form to the particular asp page. If the customer uploads image that ends in .jpg, it should take to newphoto.asp
<form method="POST" action="newphoto.asp" enctype="multipart/form-da
. Otherwise, the customer gets the error.
The below code is fine. But, when I tested upload an image that ends in .gif, I clicked on the 'Upload a Photo' button. It's nothing and does not take me to the asp page..
How to fix it? I have only 5 points right now. But, I promise you that you will get 50 or more points for solving this.

ext = file.slice(file.indexOf(".
for (var i = 0; i < extArray.length; i++) {
if (extArray[i] == ext) { allowSubmit = true; break; }

fixed problems:
1.
submit cannot be the name of an element on your form if you want to use the submit() method of the form.
javascript will always think you are talking about the button, and not the action of submitting the form (thanks CJS)
2.
let's use lastIndexOf, that's what it is there for :)

Bebonham: In the first part of your comments, show me the code. How can I submit the form?
you had it right...
but you had a button "Upload Your Photo!"
that was called submit.
I have changed it's name to submit1
that was the only real problem, (aside from my other suggestions)
the code was correct, it was the naming of the elements in the form that was problematic.

I did change from button to submit. I uploaded photo that ends in GIF and it took me to the asp page. But, if I uploaded photo that ends in TXT and I got the message box and it took me to the asp page. If I got the message box, it should not go anywhere, select another image with GIF or JPG or PNG. Any ideas?

This solution is only available to members.

if you use the one with the submit button then this line should be
if (allowSubmit) return true
else{
and not
if (allowSubmit) form.submit()
else{
as I posted it previously.
it will work either way, but technically, it is not right.
