Form not passing data ???
Below is some ASP, HTML and javascript. It is part of a page used to
maintain a small database. This code did work at one time, but has since stopped. For some reason the data on my form is not being passed to the page specified in the Action property of the form. This is on a Windows 2000 Pro PC. I copied the code to another server (Windows XP Pro machine) and it DOES work as expected there. The first block is the data located near the middle of the body of my main page. Each "row" has an OnClick event that calls the function in the second block. The second block of code calls a javascript function in the page located on an IFrame on this page and then makes the IFrame visible. The third block is located in the IFrame page. It should list all the values passed from a form POSTed to this page. This comes up empty... All I see is Start -><- End. The fourth block is located in another ASP file situated in an IFrame on the main page. This IFrame is not visible until the javascript in the third block is executed by clicking a row located in the second block of code. It contains a hidden form used to pass data back to ASP code on this page. The final block is also located on the IFrame page. It loads values onto a hidden form within this page and then submits the form. This is where I'm having a problem... When this code is called, the Alert function shows the proper value for "key", and the SUBMIT occurs as expected, but the subEdit.asp page does not recieve any form value. Any idea why the Windows 2000 server is not working as expected? I've already tried restarting IIS and the properties on the virtual directory is identical on the two PC's.

There is even a form on the main form here that works as expected. Wouldn't script blocking stop the whole script? The ALERT command in the getAgent function does fire and this is where the script fills and submits the form. I ruled out a typo when I tried the same code on a new PC and it worked. The code DID work on the Windows 2000 server two weeks ago. Not sure when it stopped working properly. |

I made the form visible and added a SUBMIT button and removed the submit method call in the javascript. Now I need to press the SUBMIT button to complete the process. The form is loaded up as I expected, but I click SUBMIT and the REQUEST.FORM object is STILL empty. This is the ONLY form on the site that is doing this, and only on this server. I tried copying files to a new folder and adding a new virtual directory, but no change. <*sigh*> |
Re: Form not passing data ???
What authentication is enabled for the entire website, the page generating
this HTML, and the target POST page? It is possible for form data to be "missing" if the original page is authenticated but the target POST page is not authenticated due to an IE POST optimization (if IE is POST'ing to a website it thinks is authenticated, it will NOT send the Form data on the first POST because it thinks it will get rejected by 401 -- however, you fool IE by making the target POST page not require authentication -- thus, it results in a 200 but no form data sent). The optimization is reasonable in the case of high-latency authenticated requests -- suppose the post is for 100MB -- should IE send 100MB on the first post, have it rejected by 401, then send 100MB again with the right credentials the second time? If this is your problem, then the solution is to make your website uniform authenticated. -- //David IIS http://blogs.msdn.com/David.Wang This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. // "Noozer" <dont.spam@me.here> wrote in message news:cl1Ee.10988$s54.6574@pd7tw2no...

Aha! This may be related... FWIW, this is for an intranet site. I need to authenticate users on this main page only. The rest of the site doesn't care who's browsing it. The whole site is configured to allow anonymous access, EXCEPT for the page in question. The page contained in the IFRAME is also set to allow anonymous access. The only page that requires authentication (Integrated Windows Authentication) is this main page that contains the IFRAME. If this is the case, must I make the entire site authenticate the same, or just these two pages? I'll check this out shortly. Thanks!!! |

The page contained in the IFRAME (and rest of the site) is configured for anonymous access. I'll have to adjust it, but unfortunately this will have to wait until later. Thanks guys! |
Re: Form not passing data ???
The page that is accepting the POST must be authenticated. Because IE
already thinks the website is authenticated, that first POST will not have form data, so the page accepting the POST must NOT be anonymous or else it will get empty form data. -- //David IIS http://blogs.msdn.com/David.Wang This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. // "Noozer" <dont.spam@me.here> wrote in message news:es4Ee.12076$%K2.8886@pd7tw1no...
