Page loading as "Submitted"

[amy.damnit]

I have a page (i.e. "PAGE 1") with an HTML Form that contains an "Add To Cart" button.

After clicking on the button, I am taken to another page (i.e. "PAGE 2") that also contains an HTML Form.

However, PAGE 2 is loading up as "submitted" before I do anything?!

How is that possible???

Amy,

What do you mean it's loading as submitted? Are you checking to see if a variable is set? (probably the submit button from the previous page)

Check to make sure that what you're using to determine if the 2nd page is submitted or not isn't unintentionally being set on the first page. If you can provide me with your source code I'd be happy to take a look.

If the form elements have the same name="" value on the forms and your using PHP to check if they were set then of course they are going to be set logically and its going to load up as submtited.

Thoguh this is just a guess as I don't have the HTML for the forms .

I'm using

<!-- HIDDEN INPUT -->
<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="TRUE" />

on both forms.

But why should that matter?

Some points...

1.) When you leave a page, all avriables (are supposed to) go out of scope

2.) So have the same "name" doesn't matter

3.) And when I load PAGE 2, my echo (yes, it is technically a PHP page, but still an XHTML form) is showing...

submitted = TRUE
