Situation:
Clicking the submit button of a form doesn’t submit the form in IE from time to time. This has been reported by a few clients and witnessed firsthand by myself several times. Typically this happens under one or more of the following general circumstances:
–
when the form is large (in the most recent case, it’s a form generated by ASP with numbered field names, such as “Caption1”, “Caption2”, etc.)
when there is a textarea and someone copies and pastes text from a different application
when there is a lot of text typed into a textarea
It’s hard to explain other than the form will not submit. You click the button, but nothing happens. Using Netscape, the exact same form submits without any problem at all. I hate to tell our customers that have experienced this to download Netscape, as many of them aren’t very computer savvy, and I’m not a huge Netscape fan (although I think they are getting pretty good again, especially with their latest release).
Has anyone else come across behavior such as this?
