Form Problem In Netscape

Dan · 11-22-2001, 10:16 AM

I gather this -> ACTION="/bin/script_library/form_handler_mail <- means
a script handling the user input in the form, in which case, try using Get
method instead of Post. Otherwise, the form code looks fine to me.

This form does not transmit information when a user inputs and sends the information
using Netscape. I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why
I get a message telling me the form has been successfully sent, only to open
my email and discover that the form has been sent, but it does not contain
any of the information which was entered when the user sent it.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? The form works fine in Explorer,
AOL, and Opera. Any comments/advice appreciated.

Here's the code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Title</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>

<FORM ACTION="/bin/script_library/form_handler_mail" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="text/plain">

<FONT SIZE=2><B>Name: </B></FONT>
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="name"><BR>

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="end_display" VALUE="/http://mysite.tripod.com/form.html">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="required" VALUE="name">

<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="SEND"><INPUT TYPE="RESET" VALUE="RESET">
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Tried using GET, same problem. The file is sent to the server, but does not
contain the information entered in the form.

Maybe a long shot, but could the problem lie with the form processing CGI??

Cheers,
