Question

A few days ago I set up a small development server. Running on Windows Vista Business and the latest WAMP.

Today I wrote a simple script to test something, and when I hit the submit button, nothing happens. It doesn’t submit to the same page, it doesn’t give me a 404 not found (which it should). Nothing. The page doesn’t even flicker:

<form method='POST' action='controller.php'>
    <input type='hidden' name='test' value='test' />
    <input type='submit' />
</form>

Nothing! However, if I remove the action, as follows, the page submits to itself and a probe of the global $_POST variable shows the hidden value is passed.

<form method='POST'>

Even the following works:

<form method='POST' action=''>

Is there something I’ve missed in the apache setup??

Answer 1

Solved!

Through much trial and error I got to a point where it only happened in Chrome. Turned out to be a malformed ‘base’ tag in the . This didn’t affect any other browser!

Thanks for everyone’s input.
