form not submitted sometimes

8,658 Recognized Expert Moderator Expert

Hi,

I've got a strange behaviour I can't explain. the form is submitted if
a) no field is filled,
b) only one field is filled.

if both fields are filled I get:

XML processing error: no element found
line 33, col 1

and an empty $_POST array

anyone an idea where I'm going wrong?

thanks

finally it looks like an uncaught exception was responsible for that....

XHTML version 1.1 is a XML only application and MUST be served as XML. Don't have time to look at this but perhaps that's the answer.

In addition, the English between the tags is all messed up. :)

EDIT: Which browser? IE does not do XHTML either.

c.f. line 5

@drhowarddrfine
yea, I know, but that's the best I could do in that short time. 8-)

@drhowarddrfine
Firefox 3.0.6 / Mac OS 10.5, IE would be served with HTML 4.01

Haven't been able to duplicate this. Is the error from the browser or your server?

after some trial & error I could narrow down the problem to one of the mail classes which is responsible for sending the result. still more debugging to do.

thanks for your effort so far
