Question

All other browsers (including IE9, exluding ancient ones) send correct requests for the following form:

<form class="form-submitter form-horizontal" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="Uploader" id="Uploader" action="MainServlet?module=general&action=add&Name=test">
<input class="input-file" name="testFormName" id="UploaderInput" type="file">
</form>

That is:

http://localhost:8080/Project/MainServlet?module=general&action=add&Name=test&testFormName=%5Bobject+File%5D

while in IE8 all I get is:

http://localhost:8080/Project/MainServlet?toSessionFormName=test.png

I’m using jQuery’s submit, that is:

$("#Uploader").submit()

I’d love to get any suggestions, or tips which could lead to me to solution. Did anyone has this problem already with IE8?

Thx

Use hidden inputs :

<form class="form-submitter form-horizontal"
    enctype="multipart/form-data" name="Uploader" id="Uploader"
    action="MainServlet">
    <input type=hidden name=module value="general">
    <input type=hidden name=action value="add">
    <input type=hidden name=Name value="test">
    <input class="input-file" name="testFormName" id="UploaderInput" type="file">
</form>

That’s the right solution. You’ll even avoid encoding problems.
