OT Safari javascript problem

[Devin Whalen]

Hey,

Are there any web developers on this list that have experience with
Safari and javascript?  A client wants to run our web application on his
iMac in Safari but I am getting some strange problems.  First off how do
you view javascript errors?  Please tell me there is a js console!

Here is my js that is causing the problem:
//this function takes the form to submit and where to submit it
function submitTemp(form,where)
{
  form.target="tempSaveIframe";
  form.method="POST";
  form.action=where;
  form.submit(); 
}

This bascially just submits a form to an iframe referenced by the name
tempSaveIframe.  This works on IE,FireFox,Mozilla,Netscape and so on,
but it fails in Safari.  In safari it opens a new window.  Which seem to
tell me that it does not recognize the iframe as a target.

I put in some alerts like so:

//this function takes the form so submit and where to submit it
function submitTemp(form,where)
{
alert("Form is:"+form);
  form.target="tempSaveIframe";
alert("Form Target is:"+form.target);
alert("iframe is"+window.frames["tempSaveIframe"].name);
  form.method="POST";
  form.action=where;
  form.submit();
}

In Safari the first two alerts are fine but it then dies on the third
alert.  But since there seems to be no js console to let me know what
the error is, I don't know what to do.  Has anyone seen this before?
Does Safari handle iframes differently?

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Later
