script not working in Safari

[Pasquale]

I am using the function below to add multiple checkbox selection to an
array. The form gets submitted to a PHP script. The function works fine
with IE 6, Netscape 7 and Firefox 1, but it is not working with Safari
125. Is there something I just can't see that would cause this??

Thanks.


<!--Begin
var submitcntiselect = 0;
function SubmitChkIselect () {
var formobj = document.forms['iregevtslct'];
var subevtobj = formobj.elements['regsubevt'];
if (submitcntiselect == 0) {
var choicecount = 0;
var regsubevtarray = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i <= 4; i++) {
if (subevtobj.checked) {
choicecount++;
regsubevtarray.push(subevtobj.value);
}
if ((formobj.elements['allsprints'].checked) ||
((subevtobj[0].checked) && (subevtobj[1].checked) &&
(subevtobj[2].checked))) {
formobj.elements['series'].value = 1;
}
}
formobj.elements['regsubevtarrayfld'].value = regsubevtarray;
if (choicecount == 0) {
alert('Please select at least one event.');
return false;
}
submitcntiselect++;
return true;
} else {
alert('This form has already been submitted. Please wait...');
return false;
}
}
//--End-->

But where is the associated HTML?

Here's the problem. Seems Safari doesn't like checkbox
collections being referenced this way - is that a bug?

Don't use subevtobj, use the form reference and access the
collection as below...

if (submitcntiselect == 0) {
var choicecount = 0;
var regsubevtarray = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i <= 4; i++) {
if (subevtobj.checked) {

if (formobj.regsubevt.checked) {

or more formally

if (formobj.elements['regsubevt'].checked) {

choicecount++;
regsubevtarray.push(subevtobj.value);

regsubevtarray.push(formobj.regsubevt.value);

...

etc.

Referencing form elements this way should not create problems in
any other browser that supports the forms collection.

Thanks for the info. I'll see how it works.
It may not be a bug, but it seems that it doesn't meet standard. Where
would I find this kind of info?

I think it *is* a bug in Safari. I've reported it through the
Apple Developer Connection, guess we'll have to wait and see. I
would be amazed if it hasn't been reported already.

As for where to find such information... you can search bugzilla
for Mozilla/Firefox errors, and likely there is a place to
search for IE bugs at MS.com, but they work on looking for
reported bugs rather than "show me a list of all bugs that might
affect the JavaScript DOM interface".

I don't know of any resource that lists Safari bugs.
