Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
WebSpeed 3.1D
All Supported Operating Systems
SYMPTOM(s):
GET-FIELD returns blank value
using GET-FIELD to retrieve a value from a form
using JavaScript calling .w
Internet Explorer 6
the same code works fine using Netscape 4.75
CAUSE:
GET-FIELD function was called before assigning the value to a variable in the JavaScript. With slow browsers this scenario might work since the submit action would be slow enough to give time to the value assignment to be done before being used.
If IIS has anonymous access configured for directory security for the Webspeed-url (using a .wsc file), it sometimes fails to send field-contect from forms when sent to IE6.
FIX:
Assign the value to the variable in the JavaScript before calling GET-FIELD function.
Or,
Enable integrated Windows verification in anonymous access, directory security.
