Windows XP SP2: Form submit bug with input type = file?

T

Tuan Pham-Barnes

Runing Windows XP with SP2, create a form with a sumbit button and an
input field with type=file. See the code example below:

<html>
<head>
<title>windows xp sp2 form submit bug</title>
</head>
<form method="get"
action="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx">
<body>
<input type="hidden" name="scid" value="fh;en-us;kbhowto">
<input type="file" size="50" name="bug"><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</body>
</form>
</html>

If submit is clicked with nothing in the file field or the file field
text is preceeded with a drive letter (e:anything here), the form
works, but put in any text without a drive letter and the form never
gets submitted by the broswer.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Tuan
