FORM POST PROBLEM

[sfc12345]

Hi,

I am new in php and have a post problem when I have the following scenario:

I have a submit button and a text field. If I fill in the textfield and then press 'Enter' key (not click on button), the name/value pair from the button is not submitted. However, if I have one more text field, it works.

Here is my code looks like:

<form name="testing" action="/testing.php" method="post">

<input type="submit" name="sel"
value="Select"
style="cursor: Hand;width:100px">

<input type="text" id="address" name="address" maxlength="20"
size="27">

From the above, sel=Select would be sumitted.

The problem seems very strange to me and don't know if anybody have similar problem in the past.

Please help

a submit button posts no data
per the w3c:
submit buttons: When activated, a submit button submits a form. A form may contain more than one submit button.

here's the link to the entire HTML FORM SPEC:

...very handy stuff.

Thanks for your reply.

In my case, I have only one submit button and one text input field. The submit button name/value pair is not submitted if I have one text field but it works perfectly fine when I have two text fields( doesn't matter two two textfield OR one textfield and one more button).

I suspect the submit button may not be activated at the beginning. However, there is no reason why it works with two textfields if this is the case.

Look forward for more advice.
