[web] JavaScript problem
Author
My Internet Explorer crashes whenever I get to a <form> tag in javascript. It generally works on sites, but when I run one myself, even if directly copied, it crashes in the f character of form. What could be causing this?
"<form> tag in javascript"
what does that mean? <form> is an html tag, how is JS involved? can you give an example page and a version of IE?

If you're writing to the document, double check to make sure you have your quotation marks correctly aligned.

Here is an example, copied from a web site:
It doesn't work on my pc, crashing at line 13, character 1.
<html><body><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><form action="navigate.cfm" method="post" onsubmit="return navigateForm(this.form.navigateSelect)"> <select name="navigateSelect" id="navigateSelect" size="1"> <option value="">Choose One</option> <option value="/">Home</option> <option value="/products/">Products</option> <option value="/faq/">FAQ</option> <option value="/about_us/">About Us</option> <option value="/contact_us/">Contact Us</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Go" /></form></script></body></html>It doesn't work on my pc, crashing at line 13, character 1.
Your form somehow ended up inside the script element. As the script element only can contain CDATA your user agent will likely try to interpret the data as javascript.
A form tag isn't javascript. Any attempts to circumvent this rule will be met with errors.<br><br>From,<br>Nice coder
