The weird thing to me is that you can't get it to happen in a different browser when CF is the one processing the info and sending html to the browser. Just a long shot but try it two ways... hitting enter to submit and actually clicking the submit button with your mouse. hitting enter will cause the submit form field variable to be undefined but clicking it will not...

Subject: RE: "Undefined in Form" when using MSIE
As weird as this may sound (and possibly uneducated) is there any chance
that it's CF losing the form scope somehow (or maybe it's there but for
some reason CF isn't able to read it)? It seems like a lot of people on
the list have mentioned this problem. Have we narrowed down the CF
version being used when this is happening? I'd think that if IE had a
problem like this that there would be a lot more people complaining in
the web world. Maybe there are and I just haven't heard it. Just a
thought.

Subject: Re: "Undefined in Form" when using MSIE
I have had the same problem with my sites and raised the subject in this
list before. I guess there's no real fix as far as a patch to fix IE.
The kluge I have to prevent the processing page from erring out on a
post action, when this mysterious bug occurs.
Before processing the submitted form, I do this.
<cfif StructIsEmpty(form)>
do a js back.
<cfabort>
</cfif>

We are experiencing random occurrences of the error message "element
XXXXX undefined in form" when using MSIE 6.0. (XXXXX represents the
names of various form variables and is always the first form variable
referenced in the action file.) This problem cannot be duplicated using
Netscape. When the error occurs, debugging reveals the scope variable
section "Form Names" does not exist and thus indicating no form
variables are passed through. The form is submitted without error about
95% of the time and of course, debugging displays the form names and
values. When the error occurs, we can actually refresh the screen and
the form variables are present again. (Of course, sometimes we must
refresh the page a couple of times before the form variables are
present.) This leads us to believe the form variables exist but for some
reason cannot be interpreted by MSIE at random occurrences. This
problem is not isolated to just one form either. It randomly occurs on
numerous forms i!
n various applications.
