Custom Form Buttons = Nasty Death

Vote 0 Votes

I like customizing forms. I want to use a custom button instead of the default system-provided button.

So I replace this in my Comment Form template:

<input type="submit" accesskey="s" name="post" id="comment-submit" value="Submit" />

To this:

<input type="image" src="http://nb.fusionfox.com/ui/images/button-submit.jpg" accesskey="s" name="post" id="comment-submit" value="Submit" />


And mt.js throws a fit:
**cf.post is undefined**

I didn't change the form tag or its attributes, and I didn't change anything by the submit type on the input tag for the button.

Any ideas why?

  • If cf.post is undefined, that means that the JavaScript was not able to retrieve it from the page. Chances are, that is because you are accessing post as a property of cf (comments_field in the JavaScript file).

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
