Re: Javascript / browser question

I want to change an action based on values in a form.
The following javascript code works great in Firefox but not Internet
Explorer.
With IE the default action is always used by submit.

Any ideas why or suggestions on how to get it to work?

Try this:

<script>
function setAction(form) {
var actionPath=form.server.value ;
form.action = actionPath ;
}
</script>
....
<form name="mainForm" ... onsubmit="setAction(this)">
Enter a container URL. <br/>
The default is for test. <br/>
The standalone uses: http://localhost:8888/apiServlet/proc <br/>
<input type="text" name="server" ....
onchange="setAction(this.form)" />
<br/>
</form>
