No target control specified
Hi, I am getting the error "...No target control specified" when using the calender. If I comment the lines out that include the error
messages, the calendar works fine. Does this affect how the calender works? I

If it is possible, please, show code fragment where calendar is initialized and form with its pop-up call.

No target control specified
Hi.
The code below is where the calender is created after the form tag
</FORM>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var cal1 = new calendar1(document.forms['0'].elements['txtSurveyDate']);
cal1.year_scroll = true;
cal1.time_comp = false;
//there are numerous calenders created here but I have only included one. //-->
</script>
</BODY>
Below is the code where the calender is called in my page.
<input type="Text" name="txtSurveyDate" value="">
<a href="javascript:cal1.popup();">
<img src="../Calender/img/cal.gif" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="Click here for the
date">
</a>
The format of the application is fairly strange so if you can't help it doesn't matter as I will leave it as it is.
Thanks for you help

That message appears only if there is no form or no input field referred to by initialization. Show, please, form fragment too.

possible cause is the way you refer the form:
document.forms['0'] means form with name="0"
if you need to refer first form of the document then you should write document.forms[0]

I figured out the reason for this error... at least in my case.
| Code: |
<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- // create calendar object(s) just after form tag closed
// specify form element as the only parameter (document.forms['formname'].elements['inputname']);
// note: you can have as many calendar objects as you need for your application
var cal6 = new calendar2(document.forms['tstest'].elements['input6']);
cal6.year_scroll = false;
cal6.time_comp = false;
var cal7 = new calendar2(document.forms['tstest'].elements['input7']);
cal7.year_scroll = true;
cal7.time_comp = true;
var cal8 = new calendar2(document.forms['tstest'].elements['input8']);
cal8.year_scroll = false;
cal8.time_comp = true;
//-->
</script>
|
which ever calendar types you use, you need to remove all the others from the script. I left the lines related to cal7 and cal8 in my script (see
above) so I got 2 'No target control specified' errors each time I loaded the page.
After removing those lines, my page loaded properly.
The error was caused in my case because there was no element named input7 or input8 in my form.
