    submit() - timing problem

    in JavaScript

    Posted

    I wrote this very short php page to test the javascript function submit(). 

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head></head><body>
<form id="myform" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post">
<input id="myinput" name="myinputname" type="hidden">
</form>
<?php
	echo "<pre>Content of \$_POST\n";
	print_r($_POST);
	echo "</pre>";
	echo "<a href=\"\" onclick=\"examine('Hello')\">examine</a>";
?>
<script type="text/javascript" >
	function examine(parametre) {
			document.getElementById('myinput').value = parametre;
			document.getElementById('myform').submit();
	}	
</script>	
</body></html>

    When the "examine" link is clicked, the submit function is executed, but after the "action" has reloaded the page, the $_POST array is empty !

    If I put a breakpoint on the submit function (using the debugger of my firefox browser) and then step over that function, the $_POST array is OK.

    I try to understand why this behavior occurs. Is it a timing problem ?

    The same with the other php page here attached.

    Thanks for any advice.
