Mad-Libs with Firefox

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 20.2004

Hi, I’m new to javascript and computer-code-stuff in general. Just when I thought I had a grasp on a few basic principals, I discovered that web browsers are very picky when it all comes down to it.

What I made is a very simple Mad-Lib generator; the user inputs the words into text boxes and the javascript inserts them into a sentence.

The problem:

[list]

  • [*]

    When used in Firefox, it will not return the sentence.


  • [*]

    When used in Safari, it will return the sentence but instead of posting the 2nd variable, it comes up as ‘undefined’.


  • [*]

    I found no problems with IE.


    • [/list]

    If anyone can tell me what I did wrong, I will be soooooo happy. I can’t figure this one out on my own and I don’t know any humans that can help me out. So, if you can offer any help, please don’t hesitate.

    Thank you

    @JonaOct 20.2004 — [font=trebuchet ms]Define the variables globally, and avoid using "form" as a variable name.[/font]

    <i>
    </i>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!--
    var adj, noun;
    function SetAdj(a){adj=a.value;}
    function SetNoun(n){noun=n.value;}
    function SetField(myForm){
    var add = "Do not kill the "+adj+" penguin you smelly "+noun+"!";
    myForm.total.value=add;
    }
    //--&gt;&lt;/script&gt;

    Success!
