PRB: FORM Inside of Empty <TABLE> Pair Does Not Generate Submit (185567)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer (Programming) 4.0
- Microsoft Internet Explorer (Programming) 4.01
This article was previously published under Q185567 SYMPTOMS
If a <FORM> tag is included inside a table tag pair that does not contain
any rows or cells, the form data is not submitted as in the following
sample HTML:
<HTML>
<BODY>
<TABLE>
<FORM ACTION=reflectr.dll METHOD=POST>
</TABLE>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=T1>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The form's Submit action is called but no data is included.
CAUSE
Internet Explorer 4.0 and later versions are much stricter than prior
versions of Internet Explorer in requiring well-formed HTML in order to
function properly.
RESOLUTION
Remove the <TABLE> tags from around the <FORM> tag and the submit will work
properly.
STATUS
This behavior is by design. Internet Explorer 4.0 and later versions are
much stricter than prior versions of Internet Explorer in requiring well-
formed HTML in order to function properly.
