javascript values

Can we see your code?

The bracketed "IF" statements are from the CMS:

{if option_field == "ad_society_1" OR option_field == "ad_society_2" OR option_field == "ad_society_3" OR option_field == "ad_society_4" OR option_field == "ad_society_5"}
	 	
		{if option_field == "ad_society_1"}
	 	
			<tr>
				<td width="150"><span class="red">*</span><label>{option_label}</label></td>
				<td width="250">{select id="societyonea"}<option {selected} value="{option_value}">{option_name}</option>{/select}</td>
				<td width="150"><div id="society_div"> </div></td>
			</tr>
		{/if}
		
		
		{if option_field == "ad_society_2"}
	 	
			<tr>
				<td width="150"><label>{option_label}</label></td>
				<td width="250">{select id="societytwoa"}<option {selected} value="{option_value}">{option_value}</option>{/select}</td>
				<td width="150"><div id="society_div"> </div></td>
			</tr>
																		
		{/if}
		
		{if option_field == "ad_society_3"}
	 	
			<tr>
				<td width="150"><label>{option_label}</label></td>
				<td width="250">{select id="societythreea"}<option {selected} value="{option_value}">{option_value}</option>{/select}</td>
				<td width="150"><div id="society_div"> </div></td>
			</tr>

		{/if}
		
		{if option_field == "ad_society_4"}
	 	
			<tr>
				<td width="150"><label>{option_label}</label></td>
				<td width="250">{select id="societyfoura"}<option {selected} value="{option_value}">{option_value}</option>{/select}</td>
				<td width="150"><div id="society_div"> </div></td>
			</tr>

		{/if}
		
		{if option_field == "ad_society_5"}
	 	
			<tr>
				<td width="150"><label>{option_label}</label></td>
				<td width="250">{select id="societyfivea"}<option {selected} value="{option_value}">{option_value}</option>{/select}</td>

Select allOpen in new window

all that does is give me a list of the five input ids, not the chose values

It looks like your script is only being executed in-line when the page loads. Is your submit button set up to execute the script again when clicked?

@xmediaman:  How do you do that?

There are actually several ways...

with an onclick event on the submit button

<input type="submit" value="SUBMIT" id="submitBtn" onclick="javascript: executeCode();">

Select allOpen in new window

with an onsubmit event on the form

<form name="form1" action="/#' method="post" onsubmit="javascript: executeCode();">

Select allOpen in new window

or using the DOM in your javascript

document.form1.submitBtn.onsubmit = executeCode;

Select allOpen in new window

With either of these situations, though, your script would need to be in a function to be called at the appropriate time. As it is now, it can only execute when the page loads.

What do you think is wrong with the:

<form id="update_cart_form" onsubmit="javascript: executeCode(); && return validateForm(this);" action="MY ACTION" method="post">

It will update but skips validation

<form id="update_cart_form" onsubmit="executeCode(); return validateForm(this);" action="MY ACTION" method="post">


or try this


<form id="update_cart_form" onsubmit="return (executeCode() && validateForm(this));"

Please post the full client side code for the form!
