Submit button not working on a method="get" form after DataBind

[martyn_wynne]

Hi,

I have found a odd one, my submit button is not submitting on a
method="get" form after using any form of DataBind?

Has anyone struck this problem before?

here is snipits of the code as an example

<form id="frmUserSear ch" method="get" runat="server">
<asp:DropDownLi st ID="listBrokers "
Runat="server"
DataSource="<%# dvBrokers%>"
DataTextField=" BrokerName"
DataValueField= "BrokerID" />
<input type="submit" name="search" value="search">
</form>
private void Page_Load(objec t sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
Brokers brokers = Methods.GetBrok ers(login);
dvBrokers = new DataView(broker s.Broker, "", "BrokerName ",
DataViewRowStat e.CurrentRows);
//listBrokers.Dat aBind();<- including this is the problem
listBrokers.Ite ms.Insert(0, new ListItem("", ""));
}

You are circumventing .NET, so it is understandable once you understand how
..NET works.

When you add a server side button to a form, .NET writes out some JavaScript
to capture the form submit and send it to the proper event handler on your
form. If you switch to GET, you are potentially interfering with this
process. If you truly desire a GET, you will have to handle more of the
coding yourself.

Hmm, I've into it further, and DataBind seems to be a read herring. If
i limited the numbers of brokers to around 90 it worked! It appears it
is the length of the ViewState, so you are right in a way. Using GET,
it still tries to send the ViewState in the query string an the Browser
(IE) must refuse to submit when the Querystring is just too long.
Having
enableViewState ="False" in the page declaration solved this. So it is
possible if you want to be bothered working with out viewstate.
