Submitting a Form

[oahu9872]

I am having a wierd problem. I have an html form that will submit a blank form, but will not submit a form with data in it. I don't get errors or anything, the submit button just becomes disabled. I click on it and it does nothing if there is data, but goes ahead and submits when the form is totally blank. Any ideas?

Well, you should post your HTML so we can say for sure, but if I had to guess, there is some JavaScript validation taking place when you hit submit that is not written correctly. The validation only looks for wrong data entry, ignoring the "no-data" condition and it mistakenly thinks that ANY data entered is wrong.

Again, though, post code or else we'll be in for a long game of "Bring Me a Rock."

this is just the form part of it ... not the asp or anything. i tested it in firefox browser and it works fine. only in IE the submit button won't work with a completed form

'need to see your opening <form> tag.

By the way, try to put your <form></form> tags completely outside the <table></table> tags (if you absolutely have to use a table). That might be confusing IE.
