elmas156 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hello everyone, I have a page with a short form with just a password field and a submit button. I also have php code setting variables depending on whether or not the password is correct. When the password is entered and the submit button is CLICKED, everything works as it should. However, when the password is entered and the ENTER button is pushed to submit the form, the form is reset and nothing else happens. Also, this only happens in I.E., it works fine with Firefox. I have plenty of other forms that I use in the same manner but they all work whether the submit button is clicked or the enter button is pushed to submit, regardless of what browser is used. The idea is to have this window close (it's opened as a pop-up) and the main window load the next page. Again, it works perfectly as long as the submit button is clicked but not if the enter button is pushed. Not sure if it has something to do with my php code or what. Any ideas on how to fix this? Here's my code: <?php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $pword = md5($_POST['pword']); $q = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `accounts` WHERE acct_number = '$acct' AND pword = '$pword'") or die (mysql_error()); $r = mysql_num_rows($q); // Checks to see if anything is in the db. if ($r == 1) { $student = "true"; } else { $student = "false"; } } else { $student = "unknown"; } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Student Verification...</title> </head> <!-- <body> tag is in PHP --> <?php if ($student == "true") { echo "<body onunload=\"opener.location=('signup.php?acct1=$acct')\">"; } else { echo "<body>"; } if ($student == "true") { echo "<div align='center'>"; echo "<p><font size='+2'>Passcode Correct!</font></p>"; echo "</div>"; echo "<div align='justify'>"; echo "<p>You will now be directed to the signup page.</p>"; echo "</div>"; echo "<div align='center'>"; echo "<p>Thank you.</p>"; echo "<input type='button' value='Continue to Signup...' onClick='window.close()'>"; echo "</div>"; echo "<meta http-equiv=\"REFRESH\" content=\"20;url=close.php\">"; } elseif ($student == "unknown") { echo "<div align='center'>"; echo "<table width='325' height='175' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>"; echo "<tr>"; echo "<td width='325' align='center' valign='middle'>"; echo "<p><font size='+1'><strong>Welcome!</strong></font></p>"; echo "<p>Please enter the school passcode.</p>"; echo "<form name='form' method='POST' action='schoolpw.php'>"; echo "<p><input type='password' name='pword' size='30' maxlength='20' /></p>"; echo "<input type='submit' name='submit' id='submit' value='Submit' /> "; echo "<input type='button' name='cancel' value='Cancel' onClick='window.close()' />"; echo "</form>"; echo "</p>"; echo "</td>"; echo "</tr>"; echo "</table>"; echo "</div>"; } elseif ($student == "false") { echo "<div align='center'>"; echo "<table width='325' height='175' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'>"; echo "<tr>"; echo "<td width='325' align='center' valign='middle'>"; echo "<p><font size='+1'><strong>Welcome!</strong></font></p>"; echo "<p><font color='#FF0000'>Incorrect Passcode!

PFMaBiSmAd Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Use a hidden field with name='submit' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmas156 Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 That works! 2 hours of trying everything I could think of, and I come to PHPFreaks.com and my problem is solved in less than 5 minutes! Wow! THANK YOU SIR... AGAIN! Is this just one of those IE things, or is there a good reason that this works the way it does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 It's just IE, possibly just following the w3.org specification to the letter (the submit field is only successful if it was clicked.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
