Does Firefox support PHP based pages?

Post by Mapper99 »

I have a webpage I have created using PHP and Javascript. In Firefox, the dropdown lists and input button don't work unless I manually tab to the controls and use my arrow keys and enter button. Is this due to an incompatibility with Firefox?

Thanks in advance,

Mapper

Really odd, I see what you're talking about. It's not a PHP issue, it's an HTML / JS issue, but I'm not sure what. Try adding an id attribute to your SELECT tag, e.g.

Code: Select all

 
<select id="Deceased" name="Deceased">
 
I'm somewhat confused by your choice of page layout and forgoing the use of Javascript to select map points; if the user has JS disabled, they can't see the map anyway. It'd be so easy to use an event handler on the SELECT to dynamically load and view points on the map.

BTW, Firefox does not support PHP scripts. Firefox does support most content that PHP can output, however, such as XML / XHTML / HTML / CSS etc. PHP is server side; the only application that understands it is the httpd server (well, unless you're using it from the console or in a GTK app, which is irrelevant here).

There's an issue with your second <div> tag. That tag 'cover' the area on top of your drop down list.
One way to fix the problem is by removing the four <br> tags just before the second div's closing tag.
