i have a form, to submit things to my site, but its not working:

Submit A News Article<br>
                <form action="addnews.asp" method="post">
                Title:<input type="text" name="newstitle"><br>
                <textarea rows="10" cols="20" wrap="physical" name="newsbody">Body</textarea><br>
                <input type="submit" value="Add News"><br>
                </form>

when i click submit, it is supposed to go to addnews.asp, which processes it, but instead, it just add it into the url, like this:
http://bit-digita.com/options.asp?Sh...&newsbody=Body

whats up?


this one works fine:

Add an Affiliate/Friend
                <form action="addaffil.asp" method="post">
                Link:<input type="text" name="affillink"><br>
                Image:<input type="text" name="affilimage"><br>
                <input type="submit" value="Add Affiliate"><br>
                </form>

Usually it adds to the url called a querry string when you have method set to "get" instead of "post"

I see you have Post but double check to make sure..

Your form looks fine to me as well, but it may be a deeper issue. It looks to me like there's another form above that one somewhere with an unclosed form tag.

The reason I say that is because part of your querystring (ShowHide=...) has nothing to do with your form.

Validate your HTML code first, and then see if you still get the error.

I was just fooling around, and I fixed it. It was something to do with my javascript, so I just deleted it.

Nice deduction! Makes total sense... so simple but I probably wouldn't have thought about it..!
