Hello all,

I have a problem that I have never seen before and I am not sure if it's settings or my code (what there is of it!).

I use XML/XSL to create a quiz page then when the user has answered all the questions and they click the next link, a javascript function is called and the score is added up. If the score = 3 the browser should redirect to another page. This is not happening!!

I have tried with javascript and C# and nothing works. The code is executing but the page remains there Like it's been stuck there!

Code:

C#: in Page_Load

int iScore = Convert.ToInt32(Request["hidScore"]);

if(IsPostBack)

{

if(iScore==3)

Response.Redirect("quiz-formular.aspx");

}

Javascript:

function validate() { //stop

score = score1 + score2 + score3;

if(score==3) { document.getElementById('hidScore').value = score; Form1.submit(); } }

I have tried with window.location.href = <full http path to the page> but nothing seems to work.

Can you please help me?

Thanks

Lee

Okay, I found the answer to that problem and it appears that I cannot submit the form properly from an <A> tag.

Has anyone any idea why this is?

Thanks

Where's your code to submit the form?

something like:

<a href="javascript:document.frm.submit();">Submit</a>

should work. It doesn't work when there's a submit button on the form so if you got a submit button make it a regular button and add the submit on the onClick event. If you got any <button></button> tags their type is submit by default so you need to add the type="button" property.

I'm not sure that's what you mean though...

Hi Fernan, Thanks for your input.

I had already tried your method, but it didn't work. The site is in a frameset (bad practice I know, but it was already designed as far as the HTLM goes.)

So I sent the information to another document in another frame and that told the correct document to load in the correct frame.

F.Y.I. There are 3 button types in VS.NET (button, submit & reset)
