Re: SOLVED? Re: Method=GET received as POST by CF
A little late to this thread. I even started a new one on the same issue ;-) Let's look at it this way, there are many ways to submit. Of course there are, but whatever way is used, if the form has its attribute METHOD=POST, the only way it could be submitted as GET would be to change it by JS to GET, which none of my validation routines does. I even used a JS function to add the value of the METHOD attribute in the url parameters, at the time the form is submitted, and when I get the problem, I can see on the server that in the url I have mthod=post and in the CGI variable, I have REQUEST_METHOD=GET How about that? I would look at a routine that was pure validation, then you could fire the event (your choosing) then decide on the method to validate. The method is decided in the FORM tag, I never use METHOD=GET. The method is even verified to be POST at submit, but still, a couple of times per week, I get a request with method set to get instead of post. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

RE: SOLVED? Re: Method=GET received as POST by CF
A little late to this thread. But Dave is right. Let's look at it this way, there are many ways to submit. But each and every method is because an event was fired to do so, just that using the onClick event on the input type of submit, is a way to override the event. And as you mentioned to return true will fire the event and return false will abort / cancel the thread. I would look at a routine that was pure validation, then you could fire the event (your choosing) then decide on the method to validate. Most Ajax frameworks with validation work in this manner, the best thing is that the code is open for reuse and minimises the duplication of code as well. Just symantecs is what it comes down too.

Re: Method=GET received as POST by CF No, but it's a little ambiguous, since your event handler calls the submit method if I read the thread accurately. No, it doesn't. If the onClick event returns false, the click on the submit button is cancelled, then ther is no submit, if it returns true, the submit proceeds normally. I don't call submit(). For instance, I have forms to edit some items. Two submit buttons, one to confirm, this one calls the validation function, the other one to delete the item, and this one of course needs no validation.

The only problem is when a user press the Return key, which would normally trigger the submit without calling the validation function.

Re: SOLVED? Re: Method=GET received as POST by CF
It could be that the problem is using the submit() method within JS. Glad if your problem is solved. My case is a bit different: I'm using INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE=... onClick=;return checkInput() And checkInput alwas returns explicitely true or false. However I just noticed that I have a semi-colon right before the return statement (fossil of a former first statement). This is equivalent of having a null statement, and who knows, it might be a source of confusion for IE7? I just removed it, and let's see what's going on... -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Re: SOLVED? Re: Method=GET received as POST by CF
My case is a bit different: I'm using INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE=... onClick=;return checkInput() And checkInput alwas returns explicitely true or false. That should work then. Curious to see if removing the semicolon helps - I wouldn't be surprised if that is confusing some browsers. -- Josh ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

I think you would be better served by using your form's onsubmit event handler to check input, instead of this.

Re: SOLVED? Re: Method=GET received as POST by CF
I think you would be better served by using your form's onsubmit event handler to check input, instead of this. Not that easy, because I have several submit buttons, and they perform different checking depending on which one is clicked. And all buttons and functionalities are in a common editFooter.cfm, so I don't have to worry about them when I create a form. Anyway, an onClick event on a submit button returning true is not supposed to change the method from POST to GET is'nt it? No more than an onSubmit. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

You should be able to capture the event and identify the source without any difficulty.
