In a Facebox window (running well with an html form) , I have now an Ajax form written

<form class="tabular" onsubmit="new Ajax.Request('/intranet-dev/welcome/infos_send', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, parameters:Form.serialize(this)}); return false;" method="post" action="/intranet-dev/welcome/infos_send"> .. </form>

but when submitted , the request.xhr? => false

what could be wrong ? what did I miss ?

thanks for any enlightenment

One possibility is that if the javascript in your onsubmit raises an exception then the browser falls back to normal form submission (eg if you don't have the prototype javascript library loaded)

Thanks Frederick, good shot... I forgot to read the Firebug console .. when submitting the form...

Error : $(form).getElementsByTagName is not a function Source File : http://aelmat.local/intranet-dev/javascripts/prototype.js?1231845708 Line : 3418

I am also using jquery yo display a facebox in which the form is displayed... I don't think there is any problem in using both libraries ...

I looked into the facebox div in the source code, I remember reading comments about having ajax form IN a table... could it be the point ?

I attached the facebox div code

Thanks a lot , just adding ... (Fred shot 1 help me too, looking at the Firebug console to see that there was an error... so ajax called did not happen ... )

<script type="text/javascript">   jQuery.noConflict();   jQuery(document).ready(function($) {   }) </script>
