got this really basic form written in javascript:

HTML Code:

<HTML>
<body>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

function readText (form)
{
    TestVar =form.inputbox.value;
    document.write("Welcome " + TestVar);
}

</SCRIPT>


<FORM NAME="myform" action"" METHOD="GET">
What is your name? <BR>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="inputbox" VALUE=""><P>
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="button1" Value="Submit" onClick="readText(this.form)">
</FORM>



<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-256751-2");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}
//-->
</script>
</BODY>
</HTML>

but when i run it, though it does what i want but the tab keeps displaying the loading image, as though the page is not fully loaded. Any ideas, please?

Hi,

I can't see the loading in IE, Chrome or Firefox. It works in IE. Chrome won't display the text though. After sumbit gives an empty page. Are you sure it wasn't somehow the google analytics that were still trying to load?

Hehehe ok. Glad you are happy

You have google analytics in your page:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
//-->
</script>

With any external code or content you get, you are potentially in trouble. Your webserver might be running smooth, but if at a certain point the external one isn't, then your webpage might stall due to that. That was my point.

I often see a webpage not load because the page is still waiting for some external advertisement to load. I often go back or close my browser not going to wait. Thats why I always warn people about external content.
