Having some trouble with form submission in FF. Everything works fine when I use IE, but when I test my forms with FF (specifically 3), it hangs. I don't even get the "submitting" message. The page just doesn't do anything almost like I didn't hit the submit button.


Is this a FF3 issue, a cforms issue or a combination?


Thanks,
JMR

There seems to be a general issue with you code (Javascript), this is what Firebug shows:

TypeError: node is null message=node is null

Aside from that you must not put the very same form multiple times on your blog, that might also break things.

Okay,

so I switched forms and tried again. Now the forms submit fine in IE and FF, but the FF form is missing a bunch of the fields.


I only have the form as a comments form, it isn't used anywhere else.


Any thoughts on fixing the error?


Thanks!

Now they are not working in IE and I didn't change anything. I think the null is referring to something else and not these forms.

Okay...more detail...now the form is wrong in both IE and FF HOWEVER, if i use the FF ad-on IE Tab to render an IE page in FF, the form looks and works fine.


Basically, it's really screwed up.

How do you intend to use the form anyway?

As a post/page comment form (for actual comments), or as a contact/feedback form?

A few tips:

On the index page, you should not have an actual comment form on the posts because it's the same thing: multiple forms of the same ID will cause issues.

That's why the comment form usually is on it's own page (single.php). See the default WP theme on how it's down out of the box.

I could not comment on this form with Firefox 3. I am now using FF 2 so we'll see what happens.


I upgraded my CFII to 8.6.2 on two diffent blogs, both running WP 2.6. In both cases my challenge question and the box to type the answer are not appearing in Firefox 3. They appear correctly in FF2, Safari and Opera.


I have to conclude this problem is related to FF 3.

I noticed two similar problems.

I am using

Problem 1: When clicking "submit," the "sending..." message appears and the email is sent, but the "sending..." message never goes away.

Comment: Maybe this is a FireFox 3 problem.

Problem 2: I tried shutting off JavaScript in FireFox. Then, the "submit" button won't work. The button is not clickable.

Comment: This concerns me because visitors with JavaScript off may not be able to submit the form.

Any advice?

I found that Problem 2 stopped when I changed all fields so they were not "required." In other words, "required" fields will prevent users who don't have JavaScript enabled from submitting the form.

I fixed Problem 1 by selecting "" and then adding an HTML thank you file (http://www.aaronhall.com/thankyou.htm).

The button should always work, whether or not JS is enabled and whether or not the form is set to use Ajax.
