Title: Problem with form in IE8
Post by: oeb on February 04, 2014, 12:42:05 AM

I have a form with some radio controls etc. to set up a filter for a browse on the same form. There is also a refresh button. The refresh button resets the browse and "Send new value to server" is ticked. This works fine on the latest Chrome, Firefox and IE, but IE8 (the latest version supported on Windows XP) does not seem to trigger the [data-do="server"] javascript - nothing happens (no line in the server log). Other standard buttons work fine.

perhaps post a small example that shows the effect, and I'll see if it's fixable.
What NetTalk build are you using?

cheers

This is NetTalk 7.34. I attempted to re-create the problem with example 21, but the refresh button worked fine there. It turns out that the problem is triggered by including a form (containing two other forms with some display fields) on the same form as the button. It doesn't matter if the form is on another tab. If I place the form below the button (in the form fields list) it works fine, but if I put it above it does not.

I suppose I should not really attempt to "design" the layout using multiple forms, but rather update my CSS knowledge and use DIV to place things where I want them.

You can't include one form inside another form - that's not allowed.

That explains it then  :)
