RE: FN-FORUM: .Net Form Posting

date posted 26th February 2008 19:39

I haven't been watching this thread, just seen the last post. However, I =
constantly post .NET forms all over the place with no problems (now, =
lol). The LAST thing I want is to have non-standards compliant HTML in =
pages. So you're not closing your form tag? Sounds very dodgy to me. =
Some browsers won't post it at all in that case.

Ok, THANKS to EVERYONE who offered help, suggestions and advice on this!

Ive now rectified the problem and probably surprised most of the =
Developer world (judging from the number of others posting for help =
across the web, on this same problem)!

It seems .Net isn=C3=A2=E2=82=AC=E2=84=A2t as much of a B-tard when it =
comes to such matters as posting your form to a 3rd party site! So to =
all you haters etc, please be advised you ARE WRONG. My problem was i =
set into a certain way of thinking and simply failed to see the obvious =
solution that was right under my nose - i imagine we all do this at =
numerous times during the day. ;-)

Sorry, for the rant but i just feel the need to point out that (i think) =
.Net is great (overall).

So basically i worked out that by including the form i want on the page, =
but without the closing form tag ', its possible to actually =
override the default postback of the .Net page, AND still have all you =
usual .Net page lements work- such as validation etc.

Not sure if i explained that very well.........
