Help with Firefox form submission issue

[dannyboylong]

Greetings all. I am having an issue that I cannot solve and am desperate for help. Here is the deal. I have a field in my form that sends info to a hidden field in another form on the same page. I do this so I can submit a separate form from the main one because it passes info to an iframe I have on the page that is used to verify (through ASP) whether or not the file entered in the form exists in the folder. Everything works great except in Firefox I can only submit the form to the iframe once and then the form submission button is dead. In IE it works fine so whenever you change the text in the field you can continue to verify the name but like I said it only allows me to submit once in Firefox.

All this is a lot to try to give all the details but the truth is, why does Firerfox only allow a form to be submitted once to a separate frame or window while IE will allow you to resubmit the form as much as you want?

Please help me.

HTML does not do this. It's probably a javascript issue with asp. Since asp is writing it, it's probably using non-standard methods. So the code won't work in modern browsers, only IE. But, in any case, without the code, it's only a guess to what the problem is. But I would ask in the javascript (or asp if we have one) forum.

There is nothing to the code, it is standard form submission code. The only thing is that it is targeted to a different frame when it is submitted. There is no javascript or asp, it is simply a form submission issue. I will show you the code if you want but honestly it is just basic form submission. The issue is that the main page stays and it submits the form in an iframe on the main page. In firefox, it only works once and in ie it works every time. By works I mean you can continually submit the form.

Could be a bug. Have you look at the bugzilla at the Fx dev site?
