Re: IIS 6 x64 CGI variable problem

Usually, the form fields show up in the URL only when the submit method of the form was "GET" instead of "POST". First make sure that generated form explicitly requests the method "POST". Just view the HTML source of the form. If the submit method is "POST" but you get variables in the URL, then it is bug of the browser. But if you don't specify the method (it should default to GET then) or the method is not POST, then it is bug of the form generator.

I am using the post method. That's why this is baffling. `<form method="post" action="http://mysite.com/pgm.pl" enctype="multipa +rt/form-data" name="labcal" id="labcal">` [download] And it works fine on x32 Apache and IIS6 servers, just the IIS6 x64 server shows this symptom. It can't be a browser error as both IE7 and FF3.6 exhibit this. I am using some javascript too, but I don't think it's the cause. This IIS6 x64 server consistently appends the prior submit vars on the second submit button action.	[reply] [d/l]
