Rails spinoffs - Dec 2007 - $('form').request() not working in Mozilla Firefox

Hi,

I am trying to submit the whole form as part of the AJAX request. To
achieve this I am using
$(''myForm'').request({method:''POST'',
onSuccess:function(response)
									{
 
alert("success");
									},
									onFailure:function(response)
									{
 
alert("Failed");
									},
									onComplete:function(response)
									{
 
alert("onComplete");
									}
								});
The method works perfectly in IE6+. This is throwing a javascript
error.
Error: $(''myForm'') has no properties.

I am using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:
1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11.

Is anything wrong with the way I am using?

Would appreciate your help towards resolving the issue.

take a look on the api doc

http://www.prototypejs.org/api/form/request

and the code of your form?

maybe you don''t have the id attribute myForm

<form id="myForm" name="myForm"......

You may be getting this error because the element doesn''t exist on the
page yet,
if your javascript appears in your HTML before the element try
wrapping your code in the Event.observe wrapper for example:

Event.observe(window,''load'',function(){
      //Your code here will be executed after the page has loaded.
});

This means the script will wait untill all the elements on the page
have loaded before it attempts to look at your form.

Hope that''s of some help.
