Re: Web form error with IE only

On further analysis, I have found a bug in IE8. The problem, as you correctly discovered, was that my html had a form within a form. However, this state of affairs was not how I had constructed the page.

My page was loaded into memory correctly, as a single xhtml form. However, when I assigned that text to the innerHTML of my page container div, IE changed the structure, and moved the endform element to make the resulting html incorrect. Further processing compounded this error to insert the nested form element.

It turns out the problem was that I had a button element as the last element in the form, but specified as follows:

IE turned this into

This put the closing form tag in the wrong place.

I corrected the problem by specifying the button with an explicit closing tag:

Thank you for the quick response. I was aware of the html issue, but I didn't think it was related to the IE error. I very much appreciate your help!

Web form error with IE only

larryr — Mon, 30 May 2011 20:18:36 GMT

I have a web form which works in Firefox, but the same form (same site) generates an error when I submit it from IE8.

This form can be found at www.freedupsolutions.com if you click on either the Find Out More button or the Contact Us button.

In Firefox, the form is submitted, I get the contact info in my Opportunities, and I receive a notification by email as expected. But in IE8, no data is submitted, no notification is generated, and I receive the 'We couldn't authenticate web form provider' error message.

www.freeupsolutions.com is included as an authorized web form provider (otherwise, the form would not work from Firefox).
