Javascript not working in Firefox

Hi
My javascript looks something like this..
<script type="text/javascript">
function formSubmit(){
var targetURL = "http://www.xyz.com?";
targetURL = targetURL + "sectorCode=" + searchform.sectorCode.value + "&tradeCode=" + searchform.<portlet>PropertyType.value+"&county=" + searchform.<portlet>PropertyLocation.value +"&Tenure=" + searchform.<portlet>Tenure.value + "&Minprice=" + searchform.Minprice.value + "&maxprice=" + searchform.maxprice.value + "&accommodation=" + searchform.accommodation.value + "&relocatable=" + searchform.relocatable.value + "&franchise=" + searchform.franchise.value + "&duration=" + searchform.duration.value;
window.open(targetURL);
</script>
where searchform is my form name.
<input>
this is my submit button...
while this is working fine in IE upon clicking the button, nothing is happening in Firefox...no javascript errors are being displayed either...
upon opening the error console in firefox...there is a message saying "searchform is not defined", while the same is being recognized is IE...
Can anyone please help me in this regard...

This is a Java forum and JavaScript is not the same as Java. Post your question on a JavaScript forum.

Javascript not working in Firefox on Mac OS 10.9.2

I am trying to learn Javascript from a tutorial. I'm using Text edit to create a simple .html file that calls a .js file using the script command. The .html file opens normally in the default browser and can print a message to a simple page. It looks like a window tries to open the .js file but it vanishes before opening. I have checked that Javascript is enabled in Firefox. Opening Firefox in Safe mode does not fix the problem. It also fails to execute the .js file in Safari and Chrome.
This problem happens on three Macs, all running Mavericks 10.9.2. When I try this on a Windows PC the .js file executes as expected.
I've tried everything I can think of including turning off the Firewall in Security Settings. It seems like it has to be something system-wide since it happens in all three browsers. Has Apple implemented some type of blocking of Javascript in Mavericks? Any suggestions for why this is not working on my Macs and what I can do to fix it would be greatly appreciated!

Cor-el: Thank you for noticing that! Turning off smart quotes in Textedit which I am using to create the scripts solved the problem. Everything working as expected now. I hope others using Mac OS 10.9.2 will benefit from this as well.

JQuery/Javascript not working on Firefox and Chrome

Hi guys, I've had this Jquery/Javascript on my page for a long time. This has stopped working. If the user clicks on buttons on the Apex page, nothing happens.
It works on IE but doesn't work on Firefox and Chrome. It used to work fine.
Is there anything I can change to make it work on all 3 browsers?
Firefox error console shows a syntax error at this point in the script:
$allButtons.click(function(){
itemChanged = false;
var toDo = $(this).attr('data-submitval');
eval(toDo);
Please can someone help?
This is the full script:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var itemChanged = false;
$(document).ready(function(){
var $items = $(':input');
var $htmlButtons = $(':button[id]');
var $templateButtons = $(':button[class]');
var $allButtons = $($htmlButtons).add($templateButtons);
$items.change(function() {
itemChanged = true;
$templateButtons.attr('data-submitval', function(){
return $(this).attr('onclick').toString().split('\n')[2];
$htmlButtons.attr('data-submitval', function(){
return this.id;
$allButtons.removeAttr('onclick');
$allButtons.click(function(){
itemChanged = false;
var toDo = $(this).attr('data-submitval');
eval(toDo);
$('a').click(function(event){
if ($(this).children('img[id="P&APP_PAGE_ID._DATE_PICKER_IMG"]').length > 0) {
event.preventDefault();
eval($(this).attr('href'));
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
if (itemChanged) {
return 'You have made changes to data on this page. If you navigate away from this page without first saving your data, the changes will be lost.';
//]]>
</script>
Thanks

JavaScript doesn't work on any site at all? If particular sites are the issue, or you get specific error messages, please let us know.
Usually the only two ways to disable JavaScript in Firefox are:
(1) Options dialog > Content tab<br>
(2) NoScript add-on (or other security-related add-ons)
Normally Safe Mode bypasses issues caused by add-on problems or non-default settings, so it's worth considering external issues.
Does JavaScript work normally in any other browsers you have installed?

Javascript not working in Firefox 32.0 - about:config says enabled - but web pages say different

For example maps not loading on hotel pages. Various other errors appear now on web pages saying ' You must have JavaScript enabled'. I'm not a computer person, but I can see from about:config says its enabled -
javascript.enabled;true
Any other suggestions???

You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
Check on the Network tab if any content is blocked and has a file size 0 (zero).
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Web_Console
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Javascript "Play Video" button not working in Firefox

When clicking on "play video" (java), QuickTime will not open while using firefox. It does work in Google Chrome and IE. I have tried using a clean user profile & allowing popups, and I made sure the Java and QuickTime addons were working and up to date.
The problem is with twit.tv/twit. Clicking the "Live" link on google.com does play the live stream, but the actual Java buttons are not working in Firefox.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://twit.tv/twit

Make sure that you do not block [[JavaScript]]
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Javascript functions to control QuickTime not working in Firefox

I am using the provided Javascript functions to control QuickTime (7.6.2); however, the functions are not working in Firefox (3.0.11), whereas they are working in Safari (4.0.1).
I create a QuickTime Player, as follows:
QT_WriteOBJECT('Music.mp3', '0', '0', '', 'AUTOPLAY', 'True', 'KIOSKMODE', 'True', 'CONTROLLER', 'False', 'LOOP', 'False', 'obj#id', 'qtp', 'emb#name', 'qtp', 'emb#id', 'qtpID', 'ENABLEJAVASCRIPT', 'True', 'SHOWLOGO', 'False', 'VOLUME', '256');
The Music.mp3 file starts playing in both Safari and Firefox; however, the Javascript functions to control that playing work only in Safari, not in Firefox.
Examples of QuickTime functions that work in Safari, but not in Firefox:
document.qtp.Stop();
document.embeds[0].GetRate();
document.embeds["qtp"].GetTime();
document.embeds["qtpID"].GetQuickTimeVersion();
The GetRate and GetTime functions always return a "0" in Firefox, the Stop command is ineffectual in Firefox, and the GetQuickTimeVersion function aborts the Javascript code in Firefox.
Any ideas what's happening?

Dave, what you have done is very similar to what I have done, with the following exceptions:
1. I'm using the regular HTML version of QT_WriteOBJECT rather than the XHTML version.
2. My first parameter is an .mp3 file rather than a .mov poster in combination with an 'href'.
3. I'm not using some of your parameters, such as, 'target', 'targetcache', 'scale', 'href', and 'name'.
4. Instead of 'name', I'm using --- 'obj#id', 'qtp', 'emb#name', 'qtp' --- which allows me to then reference the QuickTime functions as --- document.qtp.Play(); document.qtp.Stop(); --- etc.
5. I'm not creating HTML buttons as player controls; rather I am using my javascript program to detect and control the player operation with functions such as --- document.qtp.GetRate(); document.qtp.GetTime(); document.qtp.GetDuration(); document.qtp.SetVolume(); document.qtp.SetMute(); document.qtp.Play(); document.qtp.Rewind(); document.qtp.Stop() --- etc.
6. I change my .mp3 files using --- document.qtp.SetURL();
7. All my javascript is contained in an iWeb HTML snippet using an iframe.
Essentially, I've created a jukebox with button images of album covers that can be visually scrolled and then clicked to play an album via the HTML onClick, onMouseOver, and onMouseOut functions.
This all works without a hitch in Safari; however, in FF, NN, and Opera, it only works if the iframe is completely visible on the screen. It can't be scrolled offpage, and the HTML album cover buttons in the iframe cannot be dimensionless, hidden, or blocked from view.
I really think it's the iframe that is causing this behavior in all the browsers (except Safari).
BTW, as an aside, I don't have a Windows machine, but no one I know using IE on a PC has been able to get my QuickTime Player working. I think it's because, when I want to collapse an album cover, I set its width to '1px' ('0px' works only in Safari), but I think IE may require a minimum width of '2px'. I have not tried changing my image widths to '2px' yet.

Page is working ok in chrome and IE but not working in firefox. jquery problem i guess

http://184.170.251.149/raschet-shkafa-kupe
this page is working correctly in chrome and IE but not working in firefox, i cant click and of the dropdown menus(ДСП, доличество дверей). it was working perfectly prior firefox 18. can you please fix the compatibility problem ?

I was referring to the second page in my above post.
I disabled JavaScript as a test after loading the page with JavaScript enabled and that worked.<br />
I also get the selects to open if I right-click instead of left-click the select.<br />
That way the select get selected (shows a focus ring) and after that left-clicking works as well .
This assumes that JavaScript is monitoring the left-click, but that script no longer works properly.

Javascript not working in any browser except Opera! Please help!

I don't know for what particular reason, javascript has stoppped working in all the browsers I have, (Safari, Firefox, Camino, OmniWeb,)except on Opera. Can anyone direct me in the right direction to solve this issue?

Ok...
1.) Unless it is a horribly designed site javascript not working would not prevent you from at least opening said site. You might not be able to use some of the features, or in the example of acual applications like gmail or then new yahoo mail you might not be able to use those at all since they are written soley for js. But for sites like VersionTracker it shouldnt make a difference.
2.) Javascript is an interpeted language run on the client - ie the web browser. There is nothing to install. its part of the web browser youre using. You can uninstall and reinstall the browser itself but javascript is not a seperate component or something that is shared across applications that utilize it.
Javascript is not the issue here at least in the case of versiontracker and 1010wins. I turned JAvascript off in my browser and visited both and they load jsut fine. Your eChalk mail might need js but i dont know about all that.
So.... what happens when you try to visit one of these sites in one of the problem browsers???? Do you get a balck white screen? A server Error message? a DNS error? Does the app crash? etc..

String javaS = "javascript:setStatus();";
bodyBean.setOnLoad(javaS);
Can anybody tell me why its not working for firefox ?
Thanks.

test your javascript code with a HTML page in both firefox and IE.
And then move it to OA framework.
Javascript behaves differently for different browsers. This is why Oracle doesnot recommend javascripts.

1-click weather extension does not work in Firefox 4...

The 1-Click Weather extension does not work in Firefox 4. It comes up with a bunch of Javascript errors.

You'll need a little bit of tweaking on this add-on. Please read this link. It might take a little bit of work, but it does worth it as 1-Click Weather is a far better add-on than any others of the same category:

Flash drag and drop not working on Firefox for android browser

Drag and drop functionality is not working using Firefox Browser for Android on tablet. We tested with flash action script 2.0 & 3.0 content, both have same issue. Specs of the tab and OS are as follows.
Android - Kitkat 4.4.2
Tab models - Lenovo A7600H and Samsung Tab4 T531
Please refer to a previous case raised on the same issue here at this link (Case 1029615) - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1029615
Additionally, we observed that the object on which Drag and Drop event was triggered, is moving little bit when we double tap.
Does Firefox provide any libraries to support Drag and Drop functionality on Flash? We are using Geekoview api to execute flash content in our app. Will the same support be provided in Geekoview as well?
Are there other folks facing the same issue? Is there a solution or workaround to get this feature running?

Flash on Android is no longer supported by Adobe. While Firefox does support basic functionality we mainly focus on legacy video applications. You may run into issues with Flash and Geckoview. I doubt we have any resources to support that configuration.

Thickbox 3.1 juqery plugin does not working on Firefox 9.0 version

I have used thickbox 3.1 jquery plugin on my application. I have one issue, my open on new browser window instead on thickbox window. It's working fine with all the browser and with Firefox 3.6.0. But It does not working with firefox higher version like 9.0 and above. I have gone through the various forum to check the solution and being unlucky to found any.
Can you plese help to identifying the solution for the same.

Thanks for your quick comeback. What I found is the bug is in my js file which has fire event function to init click MouseEvents (event.initEvent). The event.initEvent has some conflicts with higher version of Firefox 9.0 and above.
// evObj.initEvent( evt, true, false); if I change parameter to evObj.initEvent( evt, true, true); it works fine. the last parameter.
//see below my piece of code.
// Emulate a click on a given link
function fireEvent(obj,evt) {
var fireOnThis = obj;
if( document.createEvent ) {
var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
evObj.initEvent( evt, true, true );
fireOnThis.dispatchEvent(evObj);
} else if( document.createEventObject ) {
fireOnThis.fireEvent('on'+evt);
}
