The problem
When submitting catjob 13 via WebAdmin, there is no
opportunity to select or enter either a location code
or operator ID, both of which are required for the job
to run. The resulting error message is "Not all form elements filled out."

What causes this?
For other catjobs requiring input, JavaScript code in
catjob.html pops up a window so that the user can enter
that data. There is no corresponding JavaScript code
for job 13.
How and where can this bug be fixed?
The following JavaScript code must be added to
catjob.html (in the appropriate places):
if (CatJob == 13)
{
getloccode( );
getopcode( );
}
function getloccode()
{
document.catform.loccode.value
=prompt("Enter Location Code ?","");
}
function getopcode()
{
document.catform.opcode.value
=prompt("Enter Operator Code ?","");
}
In addition, in catjob.cgi you should:
replace
$parms .= "-L" . $form{"loccode"};
with
$parms .= "-L" . $form{"loccode"} . " ";
$parms .= "-o" . $form{"opcode"};
Related WebAdmin bugs
In our case we also had problems because many of our
location codes contain commas. We edited cgi-lib.pl so
that taint checking came
after the input data was
parsed. We have also made some changes in the routine
that searches out objectionable metacharacters. Do not
do this yourself unless you have expertise in securing
CGI programs.
