I have copied the simple Django forms example exactly, running on localhost. The basic contact form example should submit a POST request when you click the Submit button.
I'm running Chrome on Mac Snow Leopard, and whenever I submit the form, the page simply reloads with an empty form: I can see from the runserver output that
it's not sending a POST - instead
it's sending a GET request.
If I open the same page in Firefox on Mac Snow Leopard, and submit the form, I can see
it's sending a POST request (as
it should be).
Looking at the source in Chrome, the form definitely says method="post".
<form action="/contact/" method="post">
<p><label for="id_subject">Subject:</label> <input id="id_subject" type="text" name="subject" maxlength="100" /></p>
<p><label for="id_message">Message:</label> <input type="text" name="message" id="id_message" /></p>
<p><label for="id_sender">Sender:</label> <input type="text" name="sender" id="id_sender" /></p>
<p><label for="id_cc_myself">Cc myself:</label> <input type="checkbox" name="cc_myself" id="id_cc_myself" /></p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
External sites with POST forms seem to work OK in Chrome.
In addition, if I fill the form in incorrectly, in Chrome the page just reloads, with a GET request, as before; in Firefox the form gets validated, as
it should.
I've tried with other POST forms on localhost and got the same result.
I know Chrome for Mac has its quirks, but what on earth is going on?
