Hi,

I want to change form attributes with JQuery. In other browsers it works fine, but not in IE(6,7,8).

Code:

action = '/controller/action/id/';
target = 'upload_iframe';
enctype = 'multipart/form-data';    

$('#form1').attr("action",action);
$('#form1').attr("target",target);
$('#form1').attr("enctype",enctype);

So what's the problem ? Your help would be appreciated.

+3  A: 

Try this

$('#form1').attr("action","/controller/action/id/");
$('#form1').attr("target","upload_iframe");
$('#form1').attr("enctype","multipart/form-data");

I just tried this and it works in every browser for me ..

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;
<head>
    <title></title>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function() {
    $("#btn").click(function() {
     $('#form1').attr("action","/controller/action/id/");
     $('#form1').attr("target","upload_iframe");
     $('#form1').attr("enctype","multipart/form-data");

    });
  });
  </script>

</head>

<body>

<form id="form1" action="something.html" method="post" name="forma" target="target" enctype="nope">

     <a href="#" id="btn">Uno mas</a>  

</form>

</body>
</html>

It works this way for me as well, just tested IE7 & 8 :

    action = '/controller/action/id/';
    target = 'upload_iframe';
    enctype = 'multipart/form-data';    

    $('#form1').attr("action",action);
    $('#form1').attr("target",target);
    $('#form1').attr("enctype",enctype);

    console.log($('#form1').attr("action") + " " + $('#form1').attr("target") + " " + $('#form1').attr("enctype"));

alert($('#form1').attr("action") + " " + $('#form1').attr("target") + " " + $('#form1').attr("enctype"));
