For as long as you have been flogging at your website I thought it was
just an oversight.

Why?

Because you have used the POST method to send form values. Google for "post
and get" (without the quotes) for much more information.

I just love this kind of response.
If you're not gonna elaborate, then kindly keep your mouth shut.

And that, richard, is why no one ever wants to help you.

How long have you been using the form element without understanding the
meaning and function of the method attribute?

No elaboration is needed. He indicated exactly where the error is.

then kindly keep your mouth shut.

I just love this kind of response. You wonder why people are rude to you? Right there is
why.

 

[Doug Miller]

ok so I changed it to get and it works.

And of course you will now apologize to Jonathan for your rude remarks to him.

The salient question here, richard, is WTF does the address bar have to
do with anything?

WTF does this mean, Doug?

Perhaps that the visitor will be able to bookmark his selection?

Damned unreliable way of doing it. I might decide to make lots of
internal changes so that the site operates identically but in some way
better, and all the keyword=value pairs change.

Is there a better way?

You don't have to break the old API just because you decide to re-write
the internals.

Like you've never seen an address bar with something like
youtube.com/v/?watch=asldiadjlueou

After someone posts a response they insert this banking on the probability
that the other person won't reply.
It stems from being out in the wooods and the only sound you hear is
crickets.
In essence, total silence.

When Evan does it, I sometimes reply just to piss him off.

<crickets>

No because he was being a jackass.
A better reply would have been, "use GET instead, you dipshit!".

<double crickets>

As I said I assumed is was just a simple oversight, and since you have
been at it for a decade that all that was needed was a pointer to your
mistake to give you that Aha-Moment. Apparently I was wrong on both
accounts.

Still missing the point, apparently... so I'll spell it out for you: POST method doesn't have
anything to do with the address bar, hence no reason to expect to see anything in the
address bar when using POST.

 

[Tim Streater]

Like you've never seen an address bar with something like
youtube.com/v/?watch=asldiadjlueou

But you were using POST and so would not see the string. So, the
address bar had nothing to do with it. Note: I only use POST.

Out in the woods what I hear is birds tweeting and wind rustling
through the branches. I certainly don't hear insects.
