Re: [OT] Call for Top 10 reasons your form is broken

On Nov 21, 2001 at 02:30 -0500, George Marselis took the soap box and proclaimed:
: Hey guys,
: i'm trying to compile a top ten of why your forms break, i.e. you try to 
: press a submit button but it doesn't work.
: any ideas?

hmm...

  - I push the submit button and the page just refreshes.
  - I push the submit button and my file upload field doesn't upload
the file.
  - I push the submit button and I get an 'Internal Server Error'.
  - I push the submit button and the browser just sits there.

I would imagine you're doing this to build some sort of FAQ or
document?  :-)

i've already compiled most of them in the CGI Troubleshooting Guide
referenced in the CGI Meta FAQ.

yes, i am. the CGI books/FAQs i've read, don't deal with bugs very in 
 depth. they just mention the 500 internal error, chmod 700|755 script or 
 something to that effect.

obviously you haven't seen the CGI Meta FAQ.  i reference two CGI
troubleshooting guides that go into great depth about this.
