Question

Have to click twice to submit the form in IE8

Answer 1

A:

I am providing the code here, which is working fine. Check this code whether this code also is giving you the problem.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;
<html>
<head>
<title> Sample page for language selection </title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<style type="text/css">
    p{display: none;}
</style>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function() {
        // language as an array
        var language = ['Arabic', 'Cantonese', 'Chinese', 'English', 'French', 'German', 'Greek', 'Hebrew', 'Hindi', 'Italian', 'Japanese', 'Korean', 'Malay', 'Polish', 'Portuguese', 'Russian', 'Spanish', 'Thai', 'Turkish', 'Urdu', 'Vietnamese'];

        $('#muyu').append('<option value=0>Select</option>');

        //loop through array
        for (i in language)  //js unique statement for iterate array
        { 

        $('#muyu').append($('<option>', { id: 'muyu' + i, val: language[i], html: language[i] })) }

        $('form').submit(function() {
            // alert('I am being called!');  // check if submit event is triggered
            if ($('#muyu').val() == 0) { $('#muyu_error').show(); } else { $('#muyu_error').hide(); return true; }
            return false;
        });
    })
</script>
</head>

<body>
    <form method="post" action="PostProb">
        I am fluent in <select name='muyu' id='muyu'></select>
        <p id='muyu_error'>Tell us your native language</p>
        <input type="submit" value="Go"/>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

But it is not working on my IE8... Could there be any IE settings trigger this bug?

I just posted my code. Check it. Make sure you change the action attribute of form.

I copy your code and run it on my IE8. The bug is still exactly the same.

@mohang I revised the post significantly.
