Hey Guys

For some reason my comment submission form works in chrome and firefox but not in safari. Anyone got any ideas?

It just runs the return and does not actually submit the form for processing. I have narrowed it down to the text area which is (i think)  the source of the issue as removing the text area makes the form work (or at least give an error saying you need the comment field).

Code is as follows….

{exp:comment:form entry_id="23" return="http://urlgoeshere.co.uk" }
<input type="text" class="commentInput1" value="Your Name…" name="name" />
            
<textarea name="comment"  cols="70" rows="10" class="commentField" />Add a comment…</textarea>
           
 <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />      
 {/exp:comment:form}

All the extra bumf around the input fields is to set a value on focus. I have tried removing this off the text field and it still does not work.

Hi Edd,

Thanks for posting on the forums!

Try including the {comment} variable:

<textarea name="comment" cols="70" rows="10">{comment}Add a comment…</textarea>

Let me know the results.

Cheers,

I modded the code slightly so i could submit the form with ajax and in the process i somehow fixed this issue. Im not sure what the issue was or how i fixed it but i did!

Hey there EDD,

Well that rocks. Glad it’s fixed!

If you need anything else, please just let me know by opening a new thread.

Cheers,
