Firefox JavaScript Console Error: Form1 is not defined

Jon Natwick · Mar 1, 2005

This "Countdown Timer" code works fine with Ie, but I receive an "Error:
Form1 is not defined" error with Firefox 1.0.0 and 1.0.1.

<body MS_POSITIONING="FlowLayout" onload="InitializeTimer()">
<form name="Form1" method="post" action="test.aspx" id="Form1">

<script language=JavaScript> var mins, secs, timerID = null, timerRunning =
false, delay = 1000; function InitializeTimer() { mins = Form1.tbMins.value;
secs = Form1.tbSecs.value; StopTheClock(); StartTheTimer(); } function
StopTheClock() { if(timerRunning) clearTimeout(timerID); timerRunning =
false; } function display(min, sec) { var disp; if(min<=9) disp=' 0'; else
disp=' '; disp += min + ':'; if(sec<=9) disp += '0' + sec; else disp += sec;
return(disp); } function decrement() { secs--; if(secs == -1) { secs = 59;
mins--; } } function StartTheTimer() { if (mins == 0 && secs == 0) {
document.Form1.hTimer.value = display(mins, secs); self.status =
display(mins, secs); StopTheClock(); } else { document.Form1.hTimer.value =
display(mins, secs); self.status = display(mins, secs); decrement();
timerRunning = true; timerID = self.setTimeout('StartTheTimer()',
delay); } } } </script>

Any ideas??

If I take out the Form1 prefix, it doesn't work in either Ie or Firefox.

Thanks in advance,
Jon

Instead of 'Form1', try something like document.getElementById('Form1').
Maybe store it in a local variable if you need it multiple times.

Or document.all["Form1"], or document.forms[0] (afaik).

bruce barker · Mar 1, 2005

to access the form you can use

any browser:

document.Form1
document.forms['Form1']
document.forms[0] // if first or only form

modern browsers

document.getElementsByName('Form1')[0]
document.getElementById('Form1') // requires id tag

ie only:

Form1
document.all('Form1')
