Jim, The script I am using is a purchased Java applet that has certain functionality, of which form field posting is not included. There is a parameter called "callUrlOnFinish" or something like that which can pass the list of files processed by the applet to another page of our choice. This is how I can say "it is the only way."
If a form post option were available I would certainly use it. I am aware of form posting and use them on almost every other page in my software. In fact one person said I was the "Master of Forms," a title the good denizens of this list would probably not ascribe me, (perhaps "Frequent User of Forms") but I do know how to use them and I use them often. I would give up coffee for a month to be able to pass the info from the Java applet via form post back to my app, but it is not yet supported, so I am stuck with the IE limit. Which brings me back to my original point, How much does IE suck. Let me count the ways!
