HI fmejia.

This is a JavaScript error. Somewhere you have a script that is trying to access 'this.form' and 'this.form' isn't defined.

Is your page on-line as this isn't strictly a ChronoForms problem and can't be solved without looking at it.

hi, thank you for your reply, I am really thankful to know that you didn't just looked at my post and ignored it, as it happens in many other forums..!!!😟 no my form is not online cause it will be used in an intranet, all I've used in my form is joomla and chronoforms, is there something I can copy and paste or a screen shot that can be used to take a look at it and you can give me a hand with it ..😶

Hi fmejia,

There's no form name in the link you have in that error image. Does the form work if you open it using the link in the Form Manager?

Hi fmejia,

I can't get the same error as you do - though I get a couple of others. I think that the main problem is that you have <form . . > and </form> tags inside your form html (two of each) - this is guaranteed to break the form. It looks like some kind of Microsoft webbot - please remove them and I suspect (hope) that the errors will go away.

you are a life saver.!! God bless you.. thank you very much I was really disapointed about my form.!! is working now.. still getting an error but is saving the data... and that's enogh for me, I have one more question, I actually used MS frontpage to my modify my form and now the form "validation" is not working, I will check if I have some other code from frontpage somewhere that is causing this but if you see something on it, please let me know...!! and again... thank you ..!! God bless all you do...

I edited the html to put the form in a table, but I have no idea what am I missing for it to work, can you give me a hand? here is my code... or is it just that the validation won't work when the form is in a table? thank you in advance for your help..

Hi fmejia,

You don't say what isn't working??? Is it all of the validation? If so then you probably have a JavaScript conflict on your page.

If it is just the 'validate-one-required' groups then I suspect that the problem is your <font></font> tags that wrap the input. Try deleting these and using css styling to set the font-size. The 'validate-one-required' should also go in the last input in the group. This is a sensitive validate method as it relies on the group of inputs sharing a common parent div. I have posted somewhere here a custom validator that is more flexible.

Hi, thank you for your response GreyHead, the whole validation is not working, but I found that if remove the dropdow that contains the javascript it works in the other textboxes... I honestly have no idea of how to find the javascript error... can you give me a hand on that? I took the code from another post in your forum.

Hi femjia,

OK ChronoForms uses the $rows variable to set up the JavaScript correctly, if you also use it in your form then the JavaScript is broken. The second time we've seen this recently.

To fix it change the name of the db result variable in your Form HTML from $rows to $rows2

<div class="form_item">
    <div class="form_element cf_dropdown">
<?php
     $db =& JFactory::getDBO();
    $query = "
        SELECT name
        FROM `jos_agents`";
    $db->setQuery($query);
    $rows2 = $db->loadResultArray();
?>
    <font size="3">
            <select name="agent name"  onFocus="select one" >
<?php
        foreach ($rows2 as $row) {
            echo "<option value='$row'>$row</option>";
        }
?>
            </select></font>
            <font color="#FF0000">*</font>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="clear">
</div>
