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

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 :

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

the Firebug console to see that there was an error… so ajax called
did not happen … )

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
