Hello Experts,
I got a very weird problem with a form. It´s a enctype="multipart/form-da
ta" Form with a input type file field.
This form is being loaded in the middle of my page. At the end of the page I´m loading some advertisements and move the ads via javascript to the top of the page. This gives me the advantage to load the content first and the ads from the adserver later. So when the ad server is slow the user can still look at the content.
My form has the following structure:
<form id="creategroup" method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-da
ta" onKeyUp="highlight(event)"
onClick="highlight(event)"
>
<input name="grpins_groupname" id="grpins_groupname" type="text" value="" size="40" maxlength="70" onfocus="ftipp('creategrou
p',this,'q
uicktippcr
eategroup'
);" />
<textarea id="grpins_description" name="grpins_description" cols="35" rows="3" onclick="ftipp('creategrou
p',this,'q
uicktippcr
eategroup'
);" ></textarea>
<input name="grpins_filename" id="grpins_filename" type="file" value="" size="25" maxlength="50" />
</form>
Now my problem is the following - and only in Internet Explorer 6 and 7 - Firefox works fine:
When i load the page and click into one of the form fields BEFORE the ads have been completely loaded, I cannot submit the form any more - it simply clears the input type file field and does not submit the form.
if i wait for the ads to be loaded completely and click after they have been loaded into the input field everything works finde.
Funny thing is that once the error has occured i can´t use any more input file fields at all as long as the browser session exists. if i change to e.g. facebook i can´t upload a picture - same error. Seems like sth in the internet explorer just gets crashed by the fact that i click into the form before the ads have been loaded.
has anyone ever experienced sth like this?
