So in the latest witch hunt du jour in ASP Classic, I ran into a problem where by the Save button on a given form would not work in IE. In this case, IE8 nor IE7. As it turns out, there was an include file that was included within the main form tag of the page. In addition, this include file itself contained a bazillon form tags (lovely design. Very WTF worthy). Well, IE gets confused when you have nested form tags and you try to submit the outer form. If you simply have a submit or image button, it just does nothing. If you wire-up the onclick event to a javascript function that forces the outer form's submit, it quietly fails to post any of the form data (genius solution by MS). The obvious solution is ensure that none of your form tags are nested. It'd be nice if one of the various validators out there would have caught this for me.
