ASP.Net messes with my form's action attributes!

[Martin]

I have a form tag in my page (Metadata.aspx) as belo

<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server" action="Metadata.aspx"

My problem is that when this page is accessed from other pages which pass parameters in the query string to Metadata.aspx these are then reflected in the form's action attribute so it looks like this..

<form name="Form1" method="post" action="MetaData.aspx?Param1=2&amp;Param2=z" language="javascript" onsubmit="ValidatorOnSubmit();" id="Form1"

I have tried using

((HtmlForm)Page.FindControl("Form1")).Attributes.A dd("action","Metadata.aspx") to override this behaviour but to no avail

Any ideas how I can turn this behaviour off?

Cheers

A WebForm (runat=server) will always post back to itself. To create a form
that does not, it can't be a WebForm.

That's quite disappointing.

I would have expected a way to change this behaviour!

I've found something which looks like it may do it here..
