Problem with form in Internet Explorer

[Deckhengst]

Hello,

First at all: Sorry if my English is not perfect, but I don't speak (type) it very well. Thanks for your understanding.

I'm having a problem with my guestbook in Internet Explorer. There's no problem with Firefox or Opera, but in Internet Explorer, the script doesn't works.

The values of the textboxes are sended, but the buttons not. I' see that the page reloads, but it doesn't write the message in my database. There's only a problem when I have 2 buttons off the same type. With one button apart it works, but when I place all the buttons at once on the page, it doesn't works.

Is there anyone who has a solution for this problem, it should help me a lot!

Here's the code:

[code]<?php

$guestName    = isset($_POST['guestName']) ? $_POST['guestName'] : '';
$guestMail    = isset($_POST['guestMail']) ? $_POST['guestMail'] : '';
$showGuestMail = isset($_POST['showGuestMail']) ? $_POST['showGuestMail'] : 'true';
$guestURL      = isset($_POST['guestURL']) ? $_POST['guestURL'] : 'http://';
$guestMessage  = isset($_POST['guestMessage']) ? $_POST['guestMessage'] : '';
$guestIP      = ip2long($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);

if(isset($_POST['writeMessage']) || isset($_POST['previewMessage'])) {
    include '../files/scripts/guestbook/controle.php';
    if($guestControle == 'true') {
        if(isset($_POST['writeMessage'])) {
            include '../files/scripts/guestbook/write.php';
            include '../files/scripts/guestbook/view.php';
        } else {
            include '../files/scripts/guestbook/preview.php';
        }
    }
} else {
    include '../files/scripts/guestbook/view.php';
}

if($showGuestMail == 'false') {
    $guestCheked = ' checked="checked"';
} else {
    $guestCheked = '';
}

echo

[/quote]

The buttons at the bottum of the script: <input name="writeMessage"> and <input name="previewMessage">

[ToonMariner]

all I can say is that IE's support for png files was very porr before 7 came along . try saving those images as gif an see what happens.

[fenway]

Really? You don't get the value of type=image? Not that I've ever tested this...

[Deckhengst]

I've changed my method in GET and now I see that he send as value the path to the images. I've tried this with several sort of button's and its allways the same problem when I work with images. When I use just text, there's no problem.

[ToonMariner]

AHHH

sorry didn't pick this up before. I think it is IE that when you use the image input type it transfers teh co-ordinates you cliked on teh image rather than a true value.

put your method back to post and then use print_r($_POST); to view all the info sent - if you submit the page in FF you should get a different set of values for the image buttons than IE.

Can I suggest you go and use a standard submit button? style it perhaps but use a standard button - some browsers do funny things to image inputs (I believe safari just replaces them with a blank apple glass button).

If there 's no other solution I'll use the standard button, but if perhaps someone else has a solution, it would even be better.

Anyway, thanks a lot

Just try $_GET and check that all variables come in the string in the address bar..  :)
