However, I've had this problem with earlier Zope versions and other Windows versions. The problem never happens with Internet Explorer. It also does not happen with Cold Fusion, just Zope. I don't know if it happens on other operating systems for either the client or the server.
Here's a very simple DTML page that causes the problem:
<html> <form action='plainpage' target='_new' method='post'> <input type='submit' onclick='submit()' value='Send It!'> </form> </html>
The "plainpage" target is just a default DTML document. Using "_new" as a target simply causes a new window to open wwith the action url, or it would if it worked right. Adding input fields to the form changes nothing, so I left them out of the example.
There are times I would like to POST, and I can't because many of my users run Netscape. I consider this a fairly serious bug. I work extensively with Netscape 4.7, under Linux. I do lots of "POST" (e.g. in the ZMI) and never saw this behaviour (just tried your example, works perfect).
Under Windows, I use IE. I hate it to say, but it is better than Netscape 4.... But colleagues (and customers) use Netscape and I never heard of such behaviour. Dieter
