Tags: This form is used to assign multiple categories to an entry. However, it cannot be used simutaneously with NewEntry or EditEntry becuase it POSTs with its own __MODE. One could, though, use JavaScript to do two requests at SUBMIT, but there may need to be some delays in between. <form method=\”post\” action=\”/cgi-bin/mt/index.cgi\” onsubmit=\”select_all(this.category_id)\”>
<input type=\”hidden\” name=\”__mode\” value=\”save_placements\”>

<form method=\”get\” action=\”/cgi-bin/mt/index.cgi\”>

Tags: April 23, 2000 - window.open vs. document.open
An important point about the open() method is that it is almost always invoked as window.open(), even though window refers to the global object and should therefore be entirely optional. Since the document object also has an open() method, specifying the window object when we want to open a […]
