Form method=post 1

[newbie345]

I created a website and it works fine when I run it on my PC. But when I move it to the hosting server I get the following message:

Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /madison.html.


----------------------------

Apache/1.3.27 Server at

http://www.asktheowner.com

Port 80

Here is the code:
<FORM method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;madison.html&quot;><SELECT name=&quot;form1&quot; size=&quot;1&quot;>
<OPTION value=&quot;County&quot; selected>Madison</OPTION>
<OPTION value=&quot;County&quot;>Delaware</OPTION>
</SELECT><INPUT type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;Search&quot; value=&quot;Search&quot;></FORM>

Just confused?
Thanks,
Bob

Hi mate,

Its invalid to submit by POST to a html file.

If you need to submit a form to this html page then you need to use the GET method, POST is for server-side scripts.

Hope this helps Wullie
