    Python CGI and Firefox vs IE

    Hey y'all, this falls under the murky realm of HTML, CGI and
    Python...and IE.

    Python 2.4, using CGI to process a form.

    Basically I've got 3 buttons. Here's the HTML code:

    <form action='http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/server_status.p y' method=post>
    <button name='display' value='all,stat us' type='submit'>A ll
    Servers</button>
    <button name='display' value='wkpea1,s tatus'
    type='submit'>W KPEA1</button>
    <button name='display' value='wknha2,s tatus'
    type='submit'>W KNHA2</button>
    </form>


    And the code that's messing things up:

    fields = cgi.FieldStorag e()

    if fields.has_key( 'display'):
    print fields['display']
    which_server,wh ich_display = fields['display'].value.split(', ')
    if which_server == 'all':
    which_server = servers
    else:
    which_server = [which_server]


    This program works fine under firefox. If, say, you clicked on the 1st
    button, All Servers, you'd get this returned in the field['display']
    variable

    MiniFieldStorag e('display', 'all,status')



    Under Internet Explorer, this is what I get in field['display']:

    [MiniFieldStorag e('display', 'All Servers'),
    MiniFieldStorag e('display', 'WKPEA1'), MiniFieldStorag e('display',
    'WKNHA2')]

    I see what's happening, but I'm at a loss to figure out what to do
    about it. Any help would be appreciated.

    thanks,

    jason

      No, here you are wrong. IE doesn't work as expected with buttons.
      See

      This has nothing to do with Python.

          Try giving the buttons different name attributes.

              IE...<sigh>

              Have to come up with a workaround, go back to the old <input>. I'm
              about the only one who uses firefox in our facility.

              Thanks for the reply and the link.
