130865 - validation not taken into account

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Joseph Maftoul]

When browsing the site https://www.mgen.fr/mgen I was confronted to a
difficulty: I  couldn't obtain the needed information in spite of clicking
(javascript:ListeFamille(document.famille,true)  ) on the right button. The
browser couldn't send the validation commande.

Browser, not Rhino !!! Reassigning to Browser-General

Joseph:

1. Can you list the steps to reproduce this? I can't find the button

2. Do you see any errors in Tasks > Tools > JavaScript Console?
   (be sure to clear it of any previous errors)

3. Does this site require an account? If so, could you create a test
   account for us, with UserID=mozilla, Password=bugzilla

Thanks -

> 1. Can you list the steps to reproduce this? I can't find the button

I connect to the site, then I give my social security number (login)
and then my password. The site identifies me, then I have a choice of
different tasks and I validate the choice when I click the button.

Then I arrive on the page were different members of my family are proposed.
I check the square and to validate the choice I have to click the button
(the link is javascript:ListeFamille(document.famille,true) ).
But precisely when I click there is no result - I can't go further. 
The name of the button  is "valider votre sélection"

Yes:

Error: ObjForm.CAC_E is not a function

Yes, but this account is created by the owner of the site and the password
also is imposed

Joseph: thanks. We'll need to have an account at the site,
in order to debug it. Otherwise, we can't see what's going wrong.

I took a look at
https://www.mgen.fr/mgen/membre/services/decomptes/FamilleDecompte.asp

It looks like the error in the function ListeFamille(ObjForm,TopSubmit)
is on a line containing the following syntax:

               CAC_E(j-1).value.substring(1)

Elswhere in the function, there are references to CAC_E like this:

               if (ObjForm.CAC_E.checked)


This makes it look like CAC_E is a checkbox; in that case,
I don't understand what the previous syntax means.

At any rate, I haven't been able to FIND the definition of CAC_E !
Since the |objForm| here is |document.famille| (see bug report above),
I looked at this:

<form method="POST" name="famille" action="ListeDecompte.asp">
at
https://www.mgen.fr/mgen/membre/services/decomptes/ListeDecompte.asp


but I haven't found CAC_E yet. In the meantime, cc'ing Boris:
is there a syntax like the above for groups of checkboxes, if they all
share a common name? If so, is that IE-only?

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

With square brackets, maybe... not with parentheses.

In that, CAC_E is an array if there are multiple form elements with that name.

This bug is old. Joseph, can you please try with a recent build? If the problem
is gone please close this bug.

Comment 7

[Torben]

Resolving as WFM because of lack of response.

Joseph, if this still happens with 1.3b, please reopen.
