html_code_clinic thread: form fields are emtpy when I include enctype="multipart/form-data"


Message #1 by "david Bosomworth" <david@s...> on Tue, 5 Feb 2002 19:39:14
Hi,


I have a very simple form.

when I do not include enctype="multipart/form-data" then it works 
perfectly.


However when I replace the following ...

<form action="test1.asp" method="post">



with...



<form action="test1.asp" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">



then I get empty form fields, i.e the values are all null? Also if I use 
the "get" method rather than "post" then it works fine?


TIA

Dave

My html is below;




<html>
<head>



</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onLoad="" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" 
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<b>Test 1;</b><br><br>
<form action="test1.asp" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table width="75%" border="1">
<tr> 
<td width="23%">First Name:</td>
<td width="44%">
<input type="text" name="firstName">
</td>
</tr>
<tr> 
<td width="23%">Second Name:</td>
<td width="44%">
<input type="text" name="secondName">
</td>
</tr>
<tr> 
<td width="23%">Job Title:</td>
<td width="44%">
<input type="text" name="jobTitle">
</td>
</tr>
<tr> 
<td width="23%">&nbsp; </td>
<td width="44%"> 
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
