Multiple form instance of Form dependency not working

**schwim** · 05-15-2007, 04:12 AM

1) Script Title: Form Dependency Manager

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...dependency.htm

3) Describe problem:

Hi there,

I'm trying to get this script to work with two forms. However, no matter what I do, I can only get it working with one or the other. Never both.

I've tried:

&

But only the first form listed works. If I delete form1 and put form2 in it's place, form2 begins using the script properly. I just can't get both to use the script.

Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

thanks,
json

Hmm, there's no reason it shouldn't work with both unless there's something odd going on with your forms. Can we see the page?

Hi there Twey, and thanks for the reply,

here's the html being generated:

Code:

This page is being generated by PHP. The head content is being shared by both pages(and forms), so if one works, logic would dictate that the head content wouldn't be the problem for the second form which leads me to believe that I've messed up in the body.

Problem is though that I simply copied & pasted the form element from the working form to the non-working one. I didn't intentionally change anything.

Any light you could shed would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Hi there twey,

I fixed it with a PHP if/else. It wasn't working with more than one form listed.

thanks,

Uh, that's from the demo and bears no relevance to your form.

**schwim** · 05-17-2007, 12:51 AM

Thanks very much for that, but I would also have to say that it bears no relevence to my problem, either.

Uh,
