FYI: Browser object "get" form method wont work Client served in IE4

[kpsmith]

For anyone using the "Get" form method through a web object in AMS4 to control the AMS4 actions

Just wanted to let you know this will NOT work if it is client initiated in IE4.

Turns out that this will only work if it is server initiated in IE4.

Maybe not a problem for most but it took me a while to figure out why the get method actions weren't working in IE4.

According to our web logs (and some other's I've seen) absolutely no one is using Internet Explorer version 4.0 so you have very, very little to worry about in that regard.

Besides I'm sure the technique works just fine still, just use named anchor links. No diff, the concept is the same. Also as you can see by the following link minimum requirement is i.e. 4 so there's no issue with AMS handling the browser:

Thanks for the anchor tags idea Corey.

Re-reading the post I think I was a little vague.

IE4.x itself does not handle a Client Served Get method.

It is not AMS4 that has the limitation. It still works wonderfully as always.

I build applications that are in the Educational market space and believe it or not, some people still have IE4.x In fact it wasn't so long ago that we dropped win 3.1 support and 640x480 resolutions. Ugghh..

But your right most all "internet active" users have Ie5 or better.

It is just the old Win95/NT/NT machines that aren't hooked to the web that I worry about.

By the way I'm writing this with a rock and chisel too...
