Question

I want to submit a form to a URL appending few values as the querystring.

I am using this to call;

    <form id="form1" method="GET" action="http://abc.appspot.com/_ah/xmpp/message/chat/">
    <input type="text" id="data" />
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    </form>

However, when I click on submit button, the URL that is fired is "http://abc.appspot.com/_ah/xmpp/message/chat/?"

The value of the “data” is not appended. Am I doing something silly here?

Thanks

Answer 1

Only fields which have name attribute are submited. This makes sense because how would you access those values without some key in POST of GET. So change your code to

<input type="text" name="data" id="data" />
