Internet Explorer form input problem.

Question

I'm having a ton of problems with every version of IE, one of which is that IE7 won't register input in this text input field.

I'm a bit nervous about posting the link since the site looks a mess and doesn't function properly in any version of IE at the moment, and it is still quite a way off being ready for public consumption. But if anyone can shed any light on this particular problem I'd very much appreciate it.

So the question is: What is causing this problem in IE7?

Update: I've also added an additional textfield at the bottom of the page to try and rule out any CSS wierdness that might be causing the problem.

    <form method="post" action="nowhere.php">
        <input type='text' name='test' value='testing' />
    </form>

And I still can't enter any text, or select the text that is in there. I'm wondering now if it's a problem caused by running a standalone version of IE7 and IE6. thanks -t

Answer 1

I would imagine it is because the input box doesn't have a 'name' field, which is used when posting form data.

Answer 2

the function causing problem is this one :

function modalAlert

the call that need to be debugged is this one :

modalAlert("NO SELECTIONS");

in

function findRoutes

the line that bug is :

$("#dialog").css("top", dTop);

first, you should avoid iframes when you can, why don't you do :

var message = $('<div></div>').load('/modal/"+modalpage);

instead of crappy code like this :

var iframe = "<iframe id='modal_frame' width='533' height='292' src='/modal/"+modalpage+"' >You didn't give me any information</iframe>"

If you don't need iframes, don't use them !

$('body').append(message);

I have IE7 on win xp (native), I was able to enter text but after a freeze (when you add all those markers), then when entering text and clicking on "find routes", there's a bug that i just explained to you ...

Answer 3

Stand alone ie6 is the problem ( my honest guess). I have the same problem.
