texte = First I want to thank all that have attempted to help. I am going to say that I am in no way perfect. I do make mistakes, though this is not one of those times. This is old code that was working, nothing changed (server-side), and now it is not working. I am going to attempt to make this as clear as I can. 1. The form works on all browsers and platforms except IE6 sp2 on Windows XP. This is not an absolute though because I am running the same browser and it is working for me. (Granted I cannot find someone with SP1 to test this on, but firefox, ie on mac, etc. all work) 2. The forms have been working for years. 3. No change in the data type being collected. 4. I too have run forms on all OSes, using such languages as PHP, ColdFusion, Asp, .NET, PERL, Python, WebDna, and good ol'javascript. Now what I have not mentioned is that sometimes the data is actually captured once the form is submitted, but the page still loads the Cannot be displayed. Which means at least on occasion the form actually does post back to the page. This is happening on more than one domain. Some forms are submitting orders, some updating products, some logging in to an account, some adding to a store locator db. This is an ACTUAL form that is failing.
It submits back to the same page it is on and does the append and move to the view section of the page. Again this HAS BEEN WORKING FOR YEARS. -----Original Message----- From: WebDNA Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lanford Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 11:35 AM To: WebDNA Talk Subject: Re: Internet Explorer 6 Form problems Some thoughts: 1) Check with http://validator.w3.org/ Clean HTML can stop all kind of form problems. 2) Sometimes it works and sometimes not? Can you capture the form data with a simple AppendFile? You can see if people are putting in garbage, html in forms, & etc. 3) write a simple form to get a simple fail case with stuff you don't care about 4) put that form / source here so we can see it. I run hundreds of forms for SSL and plain on WebDNA / Apache / Linux and have not seen the problem. - Jim On Jul 18, 2005, at 1:38 PM, WebDna @ Inkblot Media wrote: > Hello All, > > Over the last 2 months my clients have started having issues with > IE6.
