PRB: Repost Form Data Error Message in Netscape Navigator

 Last reviewed: December 11, 1997
Article ID: Q173141
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 1.0
  • Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

You may receive the following error message when using Netscape Navigator and submitting form data: 

   Repost Form Data
If the OK button is clicked, the form POSTs the data a second time

CAUSE

The Netscape Navigator browser is incorrectly responding to the META tag "<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">" that is automatically inserted by both Microsoft FrontPage and Visual InterDev. Specifically, Navigator is incorrectly interpreting the "charset=iso-8859-1" portion of the tag

RESOLUTION

Remove the "charset=iso-8859-1" of the META tag. This is optional information.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
