Question

Answer 1

A:

"The Issue" can be any one of a multitude of things. Are you sure the JS code is being loaded? Is there an error in the JS console? Have you tried to use something like firebug to see what's actually happening?

Without more information, there's no way we can guess what's actually going on.

Hi Zigdon, I posted the code. Not sure how to use Firebug

You can ditch the type attribute entirely...

Answer 3

A:

This works:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>

    <form onsubmit="return ini()">
        <input type="text" id="code_read_box">
    </form>

    <script>
        function ini() {
            var code = document.getElementById('code_read_box').value;
            alert(code);
            return false;
        }
    </script>

</body>
</html>

The same thing but with use of jQuery:
(this will make it work in IE)

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>

    <form id="foo">
        <input type="text" id="code_read_box">
    </form>

    <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $("#foo").submit(function() {
                alert( $("#code_read_box").val() );
                return false;
            });
        });
    </script>

    </body>
</html>

Hi Sime Vidas, What was wrong with the posted code? I see you removed value from the input tag.

t3ch 2010-09-30 23:48:01

The type="javascript" attribute of the SCRIPT element. Just use type="text/javascript" or do not set the type attribute altogether (I don't)

Hi Sime, The code you posted didnt work either.

t3ch 2010-10-01 14:01:17

My code works in FF, Safari, Chrome and Opera. I only have IE9 beta here and it works in that browser only after the 3rd submit. In what browsers doesn't it work for you?
