Hi, i have a weird problem here. I have a javascript written inside the jsp but it doesn’t seem to work. So, i convert the simple jsp file to html and miraclely it works. Can someone explains why?
Below is my script for jsp. HTML is actually the same file as jsp but in different file extension format.
<html>
<head>
<title>Camera</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script language="JavaScript" type="javascript">
function validateControls(form)
{
var brand = document.getElementById('brand').value;
var price = document.getElementById('price').value;
var pixelsize = document.getElementById('pixelsize').value;
var haha = document.getElementById('haha').value;
alert(haha.length);
alert("brand selected is:"+brand);
if (brand.length == 0)
{
alert("Please choose your desired Brand!");
return false;
}
else if (price.length == 0)
{
alert("Please choose your desired Budget!");
return false;
}
else if (pixelsize.length == 0)
{
alert("Please choose your desired pixel size!");
return false;
}
return true;
}
function abc()
{
var brand = document.getElementById('brand').value;
alert("brand selected is:"+brand);
}
</script>
