function is not recognise
I am using the following code:
<!-- sample3_1.html --> <!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> <title>Sample 3_1</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript" src="autocomp.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="autocomp.css" /> </head> <body> <form action="" method="post" onload="javascript: createform();"> <div id="createtask" class="formclass"></div> <div id="autocompletediv" class="autocomp"></div> <div id="taskbox" class="taskboxclass"></div> <div id="messagebox"> </div> <b>Your Name</b><br /> '''<input id="yourname" style="width: 150px; height: 20px;" type="text" value="" onkeypress="return autocomplete(this.value, event)" />''' <br></br> Your Task<br /> <textarea style="height: 80px;"></textarea><br /> <input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="javascript: validateform('yourname')" /> <div align="center"><a href="javascript:closetask()">close</a></div> </form> </body> </html>
In the file has the following code autocomp.js:
...
//
function autocomplete(thevalue, e)
{
var theextrachar = window.event ? window.event.keyCode : e.which;
theObject = document.getElementById("autocompletediv");
theObject.style.visibility = "visible";
theObject.style.width = "152px";
var posx = 0;
var posy = 0;
posx = (findPosX (document.getElementById("yourname")) + 1);
posy = (findPosY (document.getElementById("yourname")) + 23);
theObject.style.left = posx + "px";
theObject.style.top = posy + "px";
//The location we are loading the page into.
var objID = "autocompletediv";
//Take into account the backspace.
if (theextrachar == 8)
{
return(true);
}
if ( thevalue.length == 0 )
{
var serverPage = "autocomp.php" + "?sstring=" + String.fromCharCode(theextrachar);
}
else
{
return(true);
}
//
var obj = document.getElementById(objID);
xmlhttp.open("GET", serverPage, true);
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200)
{
obj.innerHTML = xmlhttp.responseText;
}
}
xmlhttp.send(null);
}
//
...
Running sample3_1.html and putting a character in the field Your Name Firebug displays the following error: autocomplete is not a function.
<input id="yourname" style="width: 150px; height: 20px;" type="text" value="" onkeypress="return autocomplete(this.value, event)" />
What I find is strange is that in IE and Chrome work without problem.
Please what am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance for your help!
