1) This issue involves just one html webpage, lets call it "ajax.html".
2) I have AJAX functions in this webpage that work in both Firefox and IE8.
3) I now attempt generating just the option values of a dropdown list of dates using my ajax functions, and it works in Firefox & Opera, but not IE8.
4) The surrounding html code for the dropdown looks like this:
<select name="entry_7_single" id="entry_7" onChange="Ajax_PhpResultsWithVar('./secure/db/SummaryCls.php','entry_8','dateval',this.value)"></select>
The onchange call refers to an ajax function that successfully(both Firefox & IE8) populates a textarea(entry_8) with a description of an event associated with the date selected in this dropdown.
5) An onload call initiates the ajax function to generate the dropdown list values:
<body class="ss-base-body" onLoad="OnLoadWebPage()">
6) The js script that calls the ajax function is as follows:
function OnLoadWebPage()
{
Ajax_PhpResults('./secure/db/GenDateListCls.php','entry_7');
}
7) Since it works in Firefox, but not IE8, I throw the output of the ajax function into a Firefox large textbox and I get the following:
<option selected value="8 JUN 2010">8 JUN 2010</option>
<option value="9 JUN 2010">9 JUN 2010</option>
<option value="10 JUN 2010">10 JUN 2010</option>
<option value="11 JUN 2010">11 JUN 2010</option>
8 ) There are over a hundred generated but you get the gist of what the ajax function generates. Next I will list the PHP function that outputs the above dropdown values:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
<?php
include_once 'SPSQLite.class.php';
include_once 'misc_funcs.php';
class GenDateListCls
{
var $dbName;
var $sqlite;
function GenDateListCls()
{
$this->dbName = 'accrsc.db';
$this->ConstructEventDates();
}
function ConstructEventDates()
{
$this->sqlite = new SPSQLite($this->dbName);
$todayarr = getdate();
$today = $todayarr[mday] . " " . substr($todayarr[month],0,3) . " " . $todayarr[year];
$ICalDate = ChangeToICalDate($today);
$dateQuery = "SELECT dtstart from events where substr(dtstart,1,8) >= '" . $ICalDate . "';";
$this->sqlite->query($dateQuery);
$datesResult = $this->sqlite->returnRows();
foreach (array_reverse($datesResult) as $indx => $row)
{
$normDate = NormalizeICalDate(substr($row[dtstart],0,8));
if ($indx==0)
{
?>
<option selected value=<?php echo('"' . $normDate . '"'); ?>><?php echo $normDate; ?></option><?php
}
else
{
?>
<option value=<?php echo('"' . $normDate . '"'); ?>><?php echo $normDate; ?></option><?php
}
}
$this->sqlite->close();
}
}
$dateList = new GenDateListCls();
?>
