Hi,
I have this website which uses javascript to compute some mathematics... However, the script appear not to be working on firefox whereas the I.E and safari are working well, can someone help me with this, does Firefox have problems executing javascript? Thanks...
the below code is where the problem occurs
<script language="javascript">
function order(form1) {
var Sub;
var GST;
var Total;
Sub = parseFloat(form1.txtEPM430.value) + parseFloat(form1.txtEPM400.value) + parseFloat(form1.txtBPM100.value) + parseFloat(form1. txtBPM400.value) + parseFloat(form1.txtIRBody.value) + parseFloat(form1.txtIRFore.value) + parseFloat(form1.txtIREar.value) + parseFloat(form1.txtNRSham2.value) + parseFloat(form1.txtNRSham8.value) + parseFloat(form1.txtNRWash2.value) + parseFloat( form1.txtNRWash8.value) + parseFloat(form1.txtNRBath2.value) + parseFloat(form1.txtNRBath8.value) + parseFloat(form1. txtOutdoor.value) + parseFloat(form1.txtIndoor.value) + parseFloat(form1.txtPatch.value);
form1.txtSub.value = Sub.toFixed(2);
GST = Sub * 0.07;
form1.txtGST.value = GST.toFixed(2);
Total = Sub + GST;
form1.txtTotal.value = Total.toFixed(2);
}
</script>

So, is the "doesn't work" some kind of rounding error in the result, caused by all those floating point operations?
Or is the "doesn't work" something more serious, like not running at all?

Sifting through that massive piece of code would be time consuming. If developing on Firefox, look into the Firebug addon which adds capabilities like Javascript debugging, error detection etc. Look at the errors which pop up in the Error Console; it will point you to the exact source of the problem.
Also, use code tags when posting code so that its easier to read; refer the forum announcements for more details.

Sorry for the flooding of codes up there... i have try using the error console to find out the problem location... the problem lies here.. and it says form 1 is not defined... Any clue? Thanks

It is only in IE[and some other buggy browsers] that the NAME or ID attribute of an element represents the element in consideration; which actually isn't correct. You actually need to grab the element in consideration by either traversing the DOM [getElementById] or using the form reference each form element holds.
- Replace the `form1' with `this.form'
- Move the entire code snippet in the onchange handler and then invoke that function with `this.form' passed in to that function
Also, you shouldn't use eval; there is always a better way of doing things. Read:
http://www.jibbering.com/faq/#eval
http://www.jibbering.com/faq/faq_notes/form_access.html
As mentioned earlier, read the forum for the use of code tags as many people might ignore posts with code without code tags.

I already provided the fix in my previous post. If what you posted really is your code then you shouldn't have problem understanding the fix I suggested. Anyways like I mentioned, you need to replace `form1' with `this.form' in your event handlers: onclick & onchange.

Sifting through the entire code to fix the issue would be way too time consuming; you need to start learning Javascript using the links I provided.

Replace the above with
> and i also change the form1 in my function to this.form
Like I mentioned, change
Replace the above with
order(this.form); .> and i also change the form1 in my function to this.form
Like I mentioned, change
form1 to this.form only in onchange and onclick handlers and not anywhere else. The form1 in your function is the form reference which is passed as an argument to the order() function. I don't accept change; I don't deserve to live.
