Obviously no one else cares but I found a solution to this so I thought I'd post it:
Below is a modified version of the example code shown on this page ( http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/ui.html ) The example shows how to add to a To Do or Grocery list When the user hits enter / return instead of clicking on the add button the app errors with:"Missing or malformed url parameter" By modifying the form to xhtml instead of html4 and adding a javascript void function to the forms Action parameter the app no longer throws this error. here's the modified form code: <form name="myform" id="myform" action="javascript:void(0);" method="GET"><br/> <input type="text" name="inputbox" id="inputbox" value="" /> <input type="button" id="button" name="button" value="Add" onClick="addToList(this.form)" /> <input type="button" id="button2" name="button2" value="Clear" onClick="clearList(this.form)" /> </form> Thanks JMcG On 28 July, 15:16, jmcg <[email protected]> wrote: > Firstly, apologies if this has been asked before, I did search but > found 0 results. > > I'm having problems with a user input form, > if the user fills in the input textbox and clicks the button in the > form the gadget works and pulls the information required. > if the user fills in the input textbox and presses the enter key they > see this error > "Missing or malformed url parameter". > > This also happens using the example "Grocery List Gadget" on this page > -http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/ui.html > > I get the same error using both Firefox v3.5.1 and Internet Explorer > 7.0.5730.13 on a > Windows XP Professional Edition Service Pack 3 machine. > > Any suggested workarounds would be greatly appreciated. > > JMcG --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iGoogle Developer Forum" group.
