    Form data lost...sometimes

    where's it gone?

    I have a simple 3 elements HTML form that gets sent to Outlook and the recipient clicks submit - form elements processed on JSP page with a 'reciept' to display what you just did.

    on a corporate intranet.

    in the past week sometimes the form element don't get there - just drop out somewhere.

    any ideas where it gets cut, dropped or how?

    Is Outlook screwing things after a recent update?

    What do you mean by "Don't get there"? The form is submitted but the values are null or missing, or nothing at all (i.e. a request) is not sent to the server. Are you getting any error messages?

      Have any bright sparks disabled java?

      Was does the JS do if it fails to get a response from Outlook? Does it just assume it was sent successfully and output a receipt anyway?

        the form displays correctly in Outlook 2003.

        form is posted to the correct URL - JSP page from Outlook

        error comes up on correct JSP page - saying form elements are undefined.

        then submit same thing again and it works.

        Browser to browser - no problems at all - same code everything.

        I know Outlook 2007 has withdrawn all usage of forms in email but this is outlook 2003

        Outlook is obviously the problem - just cannot figure out why, what, how.
