Can't get form action to execute with onsubmit

M

M.L.

Hello. I created a form using JS validation with the form tag as
follows:

<form name="form1" action="dynaform.php" method="post" onsubmit="return
pvg_sub();">

The js validation script sends alerts when fields are not entered
properly and it seems to work, except...when there are no errors,
instead executing the php action script, I get a popup dialog box in IE6
asking if I want to download or run the php script. Can anyone tell me
why the php script is not executing? Thanks.

your server can't execute php script , you must configure it with
php ?
http://www.php.net for more info .

Did you check the content type field returned by your script?

Thanks for your reply. I found the dynaform.php script on the Internet
and it worked just fine without the onsubmit javascriptng. Each script
works fine alone; but the dynaform.php script won't launch after the js
is processed.

I don't know PHP. The only header programming I found in the script was
one to send a thank_you.html page or an error.html page. I don't know if
any of the following code will help:

*****************************
// CHECK FOR REQUIRED FIELDS IF ACTIVATED
if($required_on == "yes") {
$sub = substr($incoming_fields[$i], 0, 2);
if($sub == "r_") {
if($incoming_values[$i] == "" OR !isset($incoming_values[$i]) OR
$incoming_values[$i] == " ") {
header("Location: $required_errorpage");
exit();
}}}
*****************************
// FORWARD TO THANK YOU PAGE
header("Location: $incoming_thanks");
*****************************
// MAKE SURE DYNAFORM IS NOT BEING LOADED FROM THE URL
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == "GET") {
echo "
<html>
<head><title>Webligo PHP DynaForm is installed correctly.</title></head>
<body>
<font style='font-family: verdana, arial; font-size: 9pt;'>
<b>DynaForm is installed correctly.</b></font><br>

";
exit();
}

What values does pvg_sub() return ?
If you want the form to submit it should return true.

Thanks for responding. All the subs return true unless previously set to
false, I think. The external js form validation code is below. I got
this script off a website too:

That doesn't really make sense. You won't see any indication of the PHP
file trying to execute unless the onsubmit() has worked correctly.
The PHP code will be loaded into a new page, so nothing in the Javascript
on the previous page can prevent it from loading.

Verify that the php page loads if you don't define any onsubmit handler
at all.

No, it doesn't make any sense. I loaded the file into a file compare app
and found that I was missing a closing </FORM> tag in my HTML.
Everything works fine now. Thanks to all who replied.
