Does javascript work on mobile browsers

Hi,
I'm converting a website of mine to be used in mobile phone browsers.
However, my websites uses a lot of <button> </button> tags and a lot of the following javascript:

document.getElementById("something").value= "valueHere"; // to update a hidden input field
document.forms["makepost"].submit(); // to submit forms

My question is that is this much javascript okay on mobile browsers?
Or do I need to use plain html to submit forms?
Thanks

 

Hi JEET.
It'd be ok I guess, for the former. But for the latter i.e.

no I never do that either for mobiles / desktops. HTML doesn't need javascript to submit its own form right?

Another thing about javascript in mobiles is the mouse. Remember that there's no mouse in mobiles

Oh, I need the document.forms because when the submit button is clicked, it updates a hidden input field, and then submits the form. I need this hidden value in the $_POST section of php on the next page.
I hope this will work on mobile browsers like it does in desktop browsers.
Can someone confirm this please? Or do I need to change the code?
Thanks

 

Mobile browsers support mostly everything javascript (as long as the user hasn't turned it off to save data) so that shouldn't really be a problem.

 

Oh yeah! It works! But just check the website on mobile device as it is now
All cool things in mobile websites are javascript mostly. Mobile websites differ mostly in sizing.
