Jakarta Commons File Upload problem with IE

[murph]

I'm using the Jakarta commons file upload package to upload a text file to the server. I had everything working perfectly while using Firefox. When I tested it using Internet Explorer a problem popped up. I am still able to upload the file but none of the other form fields come across. The servlets doPost method is being called twice. The first time thru the form fields are all empty. The second time thru they are populated. Has anyone seen this before and if so did you find a way around this problem?

thanks,
Mike
