I might have found the culprit, but it's going to require extensive debugging.
I seem to recall that JavaScript gets terminated/disabled if its not
executed within X amount of seconds in mobile safari. I'm not sure if
this behavior is similar with setTimeout(). In either case, I changed
the following in bold and it seems to be submitting the form with
JavaScript again. I hope this isn't the real answer to the problem,
because it certainly just doesn't feel proper.
<code>
setTimeout(function() {
$('edit_patient_form').addEvent('submit', function(e) {
new Event(e).stop();
if (!validateForm('edit_patient_form')) return;
var oldHtml = $('log_res2').innerHTML;
var log =
$('log_res2').empty().addClass('ajax-loading');
$('log_res2').innerHTML =
"<br><br><br><br>Updating patient...
please wait!";
this.send({
evalResponse: true,
onSuccess: function() {
setTimeout(function() {
/* remove existing
patient list first */
$('patient_view_list').empty();
/* we need to retrieve
the new patient list
and inject it into
the view */
new
Ajax('ajax/select_active_patients', {
method: 'post',
update:
'patient_view_list'
}).request();
log.removeClass('ajax-loading');
log.innerHTML = oldHtml;
slidePanel('edit_patient_view', 'patient_list_view', 'down');
/* }, 3000); */ /*
potential culprit */
}, 1000); /* new value */
},
onFailure: function() {
$('added').empty();
}
});
});
}, 500);
</code>
Thanks again for anyone following this thread. If you find similar odd
issues, please feel free to share. :-)
