I’m having some trouble with a script confirmation. By standard it’s set to hide

  • 0

I’m having some trouble with a script confirmation. By standard it’s set to hide the contact form and display a confirmation message but it’s not working for all browsers. After some tests I realized it doesn’t work for most IE versions, which are around 40% of my visitors.

How do I replace the hide-and-show-msg to a “thankyou.html”? I’m guessing this works as most IEs fail to show the confirmation message although they manage to hide the form. The code in ‘header’ is currently:

<script src="php/js/jquery.validate.js"></script>
<script src="php/js/jquery.placeholder.js"></script>
<script src="php/js/jquery.form.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
$('#contact').validate({
submitHandler: function(form) {
    $(form).ajaxSubmit({
    url: 'thankyou.php',
    success: function() {
    $('#contact').hide();
    $('#contact-form').append("<p class='thanks'>Thank you! The message was sent.</center></p>")
    }
    });
    }
});         
});
</script>

    Solved.

    Reading http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/58a9cbc1068d28c0/eb4bedb2cc36b126?pli=1

    I added a conditional script

    <head>
<!--[if IE]>
<script >
document.createElement("section"); 
</script >
<![endif]-->

    http://plungjan.name/test/testform_validation.html

    What you need to do is to append to an element understood by IE.

    If you do not want the conditional script, add a div to the end of the page and append to that instead like here: http://plungjan.name/test/testformvalidation.html

    Other issue: I got

    Seems the finally is not supported

    When I Added catch(e) {} before the finally – error gone 

    resolveWith: function( context, args ) {
  if ( !cancelled && !fired && !firing ) {
    // make sure args are available (#8421)
    args = args || [];
    firing = 1;
    try {
      while( callbacks[ 0 ] ) {
        callbacks.shift().apply( context, args );
      }
    }
    catch(e) { /* ADDED BY ME */ }
    finally {
      fired = [ context, args ];
      firing = 0;
    }
  }
  return this;
},
