message.
I'm using jsdk2.1, jswdk1.0 and jdk2.

Subject: Re: parsing information from a form
Hi TaNiA,
I believe that you problem is that the post method is using the default
port 80 and not the port you are using ( 8080 ). I believe the that
browsers do not preserve the port number as part of the base URL.
My suggestion:
Change the relative URL in the action section of your post statement
to a absolute URL, including port number.
OR
you could set up your server to work on port 80.
Good Luck,
Spencer
