(I was asked to post this question here by a co-worker - Tim)
Dear all,
I've got a problem with a HTML form that uses multiple parameters with
the same name. When I do a POST, somehow only the first parameter is
passed on to me, NOT all parameters.
I think, but I'm not sure, that the problem lies with the Apache
Webserver. This problem did not occur when I was testing with the
servletrunner.
I've tried it with:
- Netscape 4.61 on Linux (RedHat 6.0)
- IE 5 on W2000
We use the Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3 on Linux (RedHat 6.0).
I have to rewrite my forms into the following
<form method="POST" action="...">
Start Date
<input type=text name="startDateDay" value="01" size=3 maxlength=2>dd
<input type=text name="startDateMonth" value="05" size=3 maxlength=2>mm
<input type=text name="startDateYear" value="1970" size=5
maxlength=4>yyyy
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
because with this form
<form method="POST" action="...">
Start Date
<input type=text name="startDate" value="01" size=3 maxlength=2>dd
<input type=text name="startDate" value="05" size=3 maxlength=2>mm
<input type=text name="startDate" value="1970" size=5 maxlength=4>yyyy
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
I only get the value of the first inputfield (the day) returned instead
of all three values. All 3 fields are filled in, however.
The above is a workable workaround, but I'm getting in real problems
when
I want to use a multiple selectable list. What I'm doing at the moment
is generating a huge list of checkboxes. It looks awful.
I'm a bit puzzled since, however hard I search, I cannot find any
mention of this problem:
I've searched the Apache website (mailing list archive & bug list), I
read the Apache User's Guide, searched the archives of this mailing list
and searched the javasoft's bug database.
Does anyone have a clue what this might be?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Birgit
