Shell Form Does Not Validate JSFiddle

I am getting this lengthy error when I run this JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/YqENs/ {'error': 'Shell form does not validate{'html_initial_name': u'initial-js_lib', 'form':

Solution 1:

I guess the problem is the from submitting, I don't think you actually want to load a new page there, so try: onsubmit="greeting(); return false;" to call your function but stop the form submit event.

Otherwise the submit action will try and reload the page -- which jsFiddle is not liking very much.

Solution 2:

I had a similar problem and the accepted answer did not work. The reason was my onsubmit function did not compile as it had an error in it. For whatever reason the error is lost and it gives a message about validation which is totally misleading.

UPDATE: Quite frankly I found it a lot easier to ditch jsfiddle and use a flat html file to get to the bottom of the form submission problem.
