onclick event not working in firefox but works fine in IE

Question

I got a simple form and it works fine in ie but not working in firefox

onclick="login('loginuser','../private/loginuser.php?username='+email.value+'&pass='+passw.value,'loginresult');"

Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

That's not really a form, just an attribute snippet. Install Firebug add-on for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843/) and eliminate the guesswork by debugging the javascript. You can set a breakpoint in your login() function and see if everything is ok there or if at least if it gets called.

Answer 2

You should start by putting some alert calls in your login function to make sure that your arguments are getting quoted properly. Something like

function login (username, password, result) {
  alert(username);
  alert(password);
  alert(result);
  .... rest of function

}
