I am testing Html form using post method and got this odd result:
I have two html pages on server apache (already installed php): post.html and target.html, and the code for these page are followings:

post.html (don’t worry about the html standard)

    <div style="text-align: center">
       <form method="POST" action="target.html">
          <input type="text" name="testname" value="sometext" />
          <input type="submit" value="submit" />
        </form>
    </div>

and target.html

<html>
  <head>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Target page</h1>
  </body>
</html>

When I entered data to the form on post.html page and hit submit button, I got to the target.html page. When on this page(target.html), I refreshed the page, and what I receive is a blank page. The second time I refreshed, It turned to normal Html page.

I don’t know why it returned a blank page the first time I refreshed, I have tried the same approach but with PHP page, and the content of target page (assum name target.php) still remains (not blank like html files above)
So, could you explain me about this problem?
Thank you.

    This definitely has something to do with your browser. Same here on a mac using Safari, on some pages after submitting the content, the page seems to freeze, I refresh it, and then it works again.

    Definitely not a code problem, as far as I’m concerned.
