This problem occurs with M11 running on Redhat Linux 6.0 and Windows NT SP 4. The problem is that if a html page has two or more forms then the http post doesn't transfer the data to the webserver. I hit this with one of my servlets, but I haven't found an easy way to reproduce it. The only way that I have been able to reproduce it is with http://www.deja.com. Trying to perform a search on deja fails when there are two or more sets of <form></form> that are posts. Dang It. I just checked www.deja.com and they removed one of their form tags so now M11 works. <sigh>
I tried to come up with a better test case and figured out some more information. It turns out that M11 is doing the right thing and posting the information from the second form. It does work. I think the problem that I hit may have something to do with tables and input tags.

I just checked, and www.deja.com works for me too. If you can find a combination of tables and input tags that causes this bug, can you please post it to this bug? Thanks.
Ok, I've further narrowed down the problem that I was having. The following html works with both Netscape 4.7 and IE 4, but not with M11 on NT SP4. If I change the method from post to get, it will work with M11. I just hope that you guys can reproduce this. Thanks for all of the good work. <html> <head> <title>Form Example</title> </head> <body> <form method=post action="/servlets/ParameterSnoop"> <input type=text name="textValue" value=""> <input type=hidden name="hiddenValue" value="55"> <input type=submit> </form> </body> </html>

Attached file test case
I modified the above test case so that you can view the values that are posted. It is working now. Must have been a transient bug...

I would go ahead and just close this bug. I'm convinced that the problem is not Mozilla. I can reproduce the bug with Apache JServ and a simple servlet, but I can't reproduce it via the modified test case using echo.cgi. Mozilla is posting form data correctly. I just need to dig more on the Apache JServ side to see why I'm not seeing form data posted by M11. Thanks for the help.
