Strang browser behavior

H

hehongyu2000

I created a very simple asp page, see below,
==============
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<form action="dispatcher.asp" method="post">
<input type="text" name="docket_no">
<input type="submit" name="submit_button" value="GO">
</form>
</body>
</html>
==============
I put "~" into the text box then click submit button,
in my server side page, I got "~~" not "~".
I used some network monitor to catch http packages, looks
like, when browser send out submit request, "~" already be changed
to "~~" in submit form. I also tried other characters, looks like
only "~" has this problem. I even tried to do all windows update,
IE update and virus scan, no help at all.

My environment:
Windows 2000 server,
IIS 5.0
IE 6.0.2800.1106

Thanks for any response.

This is called a html page.

[In fact, asp-pages do not exist,
only asp files that most often render a html output to the client.]

Hi Evertjan,
Thank you for your response!!!

Server side is also very simple,
=============
<%@ LANGUAGE=Jscript%>
<%
Response.Write(Request("docket_no"));
%>
=============

I tried on another windows XP computer is ok, but
it has different version IE (6.0.2900.2180)

I don't know why such simple code, browser gives my wrong result.
I am pretty sure not IIS issue because I used network monitor already
catched http packages that show me browser submited wrong data to
server.

It is better always to declare the method/property of the Request,
in your case:

Response.Write(Request.form("docket_no"));

If there are more request object collections competing,
you are never sure which one has the priority.

But probably this does not clear your issue

Then the most probable culprit seems to me a firewall.
Switch it off for a test.

However, if different browserds give different results,
the problem is clientside and off topic on this NG.

You better try a clientside NG.

Hi Evertjan,
Yeh, the problem is clientside, I tried Firefox browser that is ok.
But I don't know why IE make this mistake and how to fix it.

Do you know what topposting is?

Do you know what off topic is?
