IE Patch? POST/GET no longer works on some IE builds

[groove1]

Hi All,

I have a web app that has been running for a long time without problems, until the recent IE security patch. The weird thing is that it is only affecting certain builds of IE and it is preventing the POSTING of data... I use a combination of form fields and a couple of bits o data in the form action URL string to maintain state ( I use sessions for other parts of the app ) -- has anyone seem odd behaviour like this? Any suggested fixes? 😕

Putting GET style variables into a form's action URL is dirty. It is not guaranteed to work. If you want to pass additional data with the form, use hidden form elements.

<input type="hidden" name="foo" value="bar" />

I don't know if that is what is causing your problem, but it would be the first thing I would suspect.

Hey,

Thanks for the post... Good point about the GET string however I have noticed some browsers loose the hidden field data on page refresh - so if the client arrives at the page and then hits refresh, the data is lost... anyway, certainly a good idea so I'll try it out.

Thanks
