Question

Answer 1

A:

This may be a FF issue not related to jQuery directly. Try putting a filename in the action attribute like this:

<form id="frm" action="/index.html" method="post">

Just make sure to change index.html to whatever your default document is.

this solution does not work to :(

msi 2010-02-23 15:44:25

Odd, it worked for me. What is the actual file name that you are trying to post to?

palehorse 2010-02-23 16:10:43

@palehorse I'm using ASP.NET MVC, so the actual is action method of some controller (the URL for action form method is "/Security/Logout"). But actin method does not go to this action, I've tried it via debugger.

msi 2010-02-23 17:55:57

Does your routing table include a /default.aspx or something like that? If so, perhaps you could code the form rather than using a form helper to put the action in. You may also be able to add something to the routing table that will accept a /index.htm or some other default document name in order to do this.

That's not an ASP.NET MVC problem, this is a FireFox problem, because all works fine on IE, Opera and Google Chrome

msi 2010-02-23 20:36:05

I understand that it's a FireFox problem; however, sometimes to solve a problem with one technology we need to use another in a slightly different way. I've used jQuery's submit() method with MVC many times, but there's always been more than just a / in the action, that's why I suggest setting it up to use either a "file" name/route or something like that, anything to get away from the single "/" in the action.

palehorse 2010-02-24 00:29:52

it's very strange, but when I tried to use action without slash (/):<form id="frm" action="index.html" method="post">submit works fine.Why?

msi 2010-02-24 09:50:34

It sounds like it could be a bug in FireFox. There's another bug dealing with a form that has an action beginning with a / that doesn't submit when "Enter" is pressed. It could be a related bug with slightly different behavior.

Answer 2

A:

I've copied your code and just change the script src line and it works. Ensure you're including it correctly.

Btw, jQuery Library is currently on v1.4.2.

Keyne 2010-02-23 15:54:22

I'll try to use jQuery 1.4.1 but only after 3 hours :)

msi 2010-02-23 15:59:01

@Keyne this should be a comment rather than an answer ..

c0mrade 2010-02-23 15:59:44

Sorry @c0mrade, next time I do that.

Keyne 2010-02-23 16:09:24

@Keyne no problem we're all suggesting things once in a while ..

c0mrade 2010-02-23 16:17:46

Actually, latest release is 1.4.2: http://blog.jquery.com/2010/02/19/jquery-142-released/

Jasper De Bruijn 2010-02-23 16:35:28

@Jasper I change it, thanks!

Answer 3

A:

Try to include a submit button in your form. Even if it is hidden.

<input type="submit" style="display:none;" />

Rexxars 2010-02-23 15:57:27

@Rexxars That makes no sense at all..

c0mrade 2010-02-23 15:59:59

@c0mrade are right

Answer 4

A:

This works 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() {
    $("#btnLogout").click(function() {
      $("#actionform").submit();
         return false;
    });
  });
  </script>

</head>

<body>

<form id="actionform" action="something.html" method="post" name="forma">

        <label for="txtLogin">Login:</label>
        <input name="txtLogin" />
     <a href="#" id="btnLogout">Uno mas</a>  

</form>

</body>
</html>

c0mrade 2010-02-23 16:28:07

this works for me too.But, when you'll try to use "/" before something.html, like this<form id="actionform" action="/something.html" method="post" name="forma">it'll not work only on FireFox :(

msi 2010-02-24 10:04:22

@msi why would you use /something.html instead of something ?

c0mrade 2010-02-24 10:21:35

because I need to have access to this file from site root.And when I have site structure like this:/test/foo.htmlindex.htmlsomthing.htmlI'll not have an access to the somthing.html form /test/foo.html

msi 2010-02-24 10:58:03

@msi of course you need to deploy it to some web server first ..

c0mrade 2010-02-24 11:46:41

@c0mrade But on IE and Chrome all works fine. This is realy bug (or some security feature) in FireFox
