Ajax, Struts, and a few pesky event based issues

I'm working on a webform that uses Struts and Ajax to prepopulate much of the data based off an ID number supplied by the user.

It works absolutely perfectly in IE.

It doesn't even think about firing the AJax calls (fired in an OnBlur() of the text box for the last part of the ID) in FireFox.

Am I missing something here?

I thought onBlur() was cross browser supported.

Similarly, I have two dependant drop downs. The second one is supposed to populate based on an onChange() of the first.

That's not working either in FireFox, but is perfect in IE.

Any thoughts about what might be wrong?

Thanks,
-Terri

Well, inspecting your code I see that...

Oh wait! No code!

Seriously, you'll need to show us your code. How else can we even venture a guess? Please be sure to use code tags.

It sounds likely that you are using proprietary IE script rather than coding to standards.

Here's my code for that page. Sorry I didn't include it earlier.

First the main page. (rmaInit.jsp)


And here's ajaxObject.js, just in case you need to reference it.


Thanks!

It's reasons like this I am thankful for Javascript libraries, JSON, forEach loops and css classes.
