(my first posting ever on CFTalk) Using a traditional html form for several uses, such as guest book. After submitting to a processing page, do some error handling, noting any missing or conflicting data, user to go back and fix/complete form. The usual process.
Locally, on singleIP development server (MX), all is fine; go back and form fields hold any existing data the way they should. On remote, shared MX server, however, have mixed results. In a couple places this works just as expected. In most, however, when go back to form (back button), all earlier data is gone. (Note: If try to go forward then to the error handling message, get notice that page has expired--that doesn't happen in situations where form behaves properly.) Behavior seems to be browser independent (IE 6 and Netscape 6). Tried putting the identical templates on two different mx sites in a couple of places (sites are one same server) (Does not work means, form data missing when go back using back button and shows page has expired if try then to go forward) 1. On one site, form does NOT work as expected regardless of directory 2. On another site, if at root level (www.abc.com/testform.cfm), it does NOT work; 3. however at same site, if in a sub directory (www.aabc.com/mydirectory/testform.com), it does work as expected. 4. As a control, used same templates at root level and subdirectly on a CF5 machine, and all works fine. As stated, all works fine locally, but problems on the remote, shared server. CF guy at hosting service can't see what could be causing this behavior. I don't have the foggiest idea of where to even begin looking to solve this. And it seems more likely that it has something to do with remote server or mapping than my code. Appreciate any suggestions. Searched the archives, but couldn't find anything about this. (Search wasn't in vain, however. From a Ray Camden response, found why serializing a form, via WDDX, was giving me only a random 10 fields rather than all. Ray's response was a known MX bug, and to work around duplicate the form first. THANKS Ray!)
