Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Paste the following ASP script into an ASP file and name it Post.asp:
    <%
        for each Item in Request.Form
          Response.Write("Name: " & Item & " -- ")
          Response.Write("Value: " & Request.Form(Item))
          Response.Write("<br>")
        Next
    %>
    <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="post.asp" id=form1 name=form1>
        <INPUT type="submit" value="Submit" id=submit1 name=submit1>
        <INPUT type="text" id=CBGer name=CBGer value=192>
    </FORM>
  2. Browse to the page, type 195 in the text box to the right of the Submit button, and then click Submit.
The return is "Name: CBGer -- Value:" instead of "Name: CBGer -- Value: 195".
