My Form is also not working in IE

Hi Bob, my form: http://rtl.edu.hk//rtl_flexsin/rtl/index.php works fine in Chrome & FF, but in EVERY version of IE it does not submit and in some versions the submit button does not even display. All very confusing. Would be grateful for some guidance. Thanks.

Hi autotim,

The bare form appears to be OK in IE 6, 7 & 8 - though there are some formatting issues in IE6

The page you linked to has some JavaScript issues which appear to be in the CSS menu but are probably cause because you have two different versions of MooTools and JQuery all loading on the page (either or both of these could be the problem).

Out of the box jQuery isn't compatible with the MooTools library used by Joomla! and ChronoForms. You can use jQuery with MooTools in no-conflict mode. There are various ways of doing this. The simplest is to add a line of script in the ChronoForms Form JavaScript box:

jQuery.noConflict();

This will free the $ operator which is used by MooTools, so you may need to update your own javascripts to use the longer jQuery operator.

There is also a neat Joomla! system plugin named SC jQuery that allows you to control on which pages jQuery is loaded, and will always load it in no-conflict mode.

Thanks Bob, I will try that.

By 'bare form' do you mean without the submit? And what do you mean by the linked page?

Thanks again.

Hi autotim,

The 'bare form' is the one I linked to -- without the template.

The 'page you linked to' is the page with the form that you linked to in your earlier post.

Hi

I also have a problem with my form not working in IE. It works fine in FireFox

Do you know why this might be happening?

Thanks

Hi Dave,

I think this is an IE9 problem - it appears to be OK in IE7 & 8. And in IE9 the stand alone form appear to be OK too, though there is a JQuery error showing when the page loads (I think because the noConflict() is there but jQuery isn't).

This post might help - it forces the form page into IE8 mode.

Bob

Hi Bob

Thanks for the quick response!

I used the code snippet as suggested and it now works fine in IE 9.

I really appreciate your help with this

All the best

Dave

Hello there

Unfortunately I'm having IE issues as well. Form works fine in Chrome and Firefox but returns a blank page if you complete it in IE and doesn't submit the results.

Could someone please give me some advice on how to fix? I've tried both the suggestions in this thread but neither have worked.

Many thanks!

Hi indianawebs,

I'm not sure what causes the blank page - there is no evident error. Possibly a PHP error but I wouldn't expect that to be browser dependent.

The validation is also broken because your template (or some other component) is loading the jQuery JavaScript library. Out of the box jQuery isn't compatible with the MooTools library used by Joomla! and ChronoForms. You can use jQuery with MooTools in no-conflict mode. There are various ways of doing this. The simplest is to add a line of script in the ChronoForms Form JavaScript box:

jQuery.noConflict();

This will free the $ operator which is used by MooTools, so you may need to update your own javascripts to use the longer jQuery operator.

There is also a neat Joomla! 1.5 system plugin named SC jQuery that allows you to control on which pages jQuery is loaded, and will always load it in no-conflict mode.
