Javascript Error in Class DOMInjection #2

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Javascript wants to access the textfield named "key" via an ID which is 
not given. So the XMLHTTREQUEST always fails.

In DOMInjection.java:

function validate() {
var keyField = document.getElementById('key');
...

------------------
Fix it to:
function validate() {
var keyField = document.getElementsByName('key')[0];
...

or give the textfield "key" the appropriate ID and keep on using "var 
keyField = document.getElementById('key')";

To fix the problem temporarily while using the lesson, give a new 
attribute to the text field named "id" with value "key" using firebug.

Actually, I think the problem was happening because the lesson was returning 
the 
lesson HTML again incase of incorrect key to eval was throwing an error trying 
to 
evaluate a whole bunch of HTML. Fixed this by catching the exception and 
showing an 
appropriate message.
