Question

I’m working on a script and it works fine in IE and Chrome, but the links do not work in Firefox.

Basically I am using php to query a database and generate some links inside the page.

Example of the relevant link code:

<TD class="bodycopyblue"
    onmouseover="this.style.background='#FFFF80';this.style.cursor='pointer'"
    onmouseout="this.style.background='#FFFFFF'"
    onclick="getAccountDetails(<?php print $accountinfo['audio_account_id']; ?>)"
>view CDRs</TD>

The onmouseover/out code works fine. The onclick doesn’t seem to be.

The function the link calls:

function getAccountDetails(account_id) {

    accountform.aid.value=account_id;
    accountform.submit();
}

Which is submitting a form:

<FORM id="accountform"
    action="accountdetails.php?month=<?php print $cdate['mon']; ?>&year=<?php print $cdate['year']; ?>"
    method="post">
<INPUT id="aid" name="aid" type="hidden" value=0>
</FORM>

The Form doesn’t seem to be showing up correctly… but it’s a simple form with a single hidden field. Posted using a link generated by some php.
I installed firebug, but either from my ignorance of its operation or nothing being wrong, it reports no errors.

Answer 1

try

function getAccountDetails(account_id) {

        document.getElementById('aid').value=account_id;
        accountform.submit();
}
