HTML form send data by GET instead POST

It is very strangely, but my HTML form send data via GET, not POST.

    <form name="mistake" action="http://web-server.com:8888/WebApp/Email/Create" method=post>
  <input type="text" name="url" size="50" readonly="readonly">
          <br />
          <span class="text">
          Error :
          </span>
          <br /> 
          <textarea rows="5" name="mis" cols="37" readonly="readonly"></textarea> 
          <br />
          <span class="text">
          Comment :
          </span>
          <br /> 
          <textarea rows="5" name="comment" cols="37"></textarea> 
          
          <input type="hidden" name="email" value="[email protected]">
          <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Errors">
          <div style="margin-top: 7px"><input type="submit" value="Submit">
          <input onclick="hide()" type="button" value="Close" id="close" name="close"> 
          </div>
</form>

I test it on IE10 with standart options.
HTML form very simple and i write only little example of code.
How to fix it?
Thank you!

P.S. Change URL. This URL web-server.com:8888/WebApp/Email/Create - belongs to asp mvc app.

When i run my web app and ths static site on local machine- it works. But when i runs static page on local machine- and mvc on server- it not works.

P.P.S.- this variant of form- is origine (i cut some tags). Now it is origine.

I dont why, but it works. May be - problem on server side?

(In my case, I found some causes.)

There can be many causes two of them are:

  1. If forget to close the form tag.

  2. Written post in a wrong way. i.e. It should be something like this:

    <form action="index.php" method="post">

If you write method=post , method ="POST"or method ="Post" then it will not work. Hope it will solve your problem.

This post helped me fix what was causing the issue for me.

If IIS Manager redirects the url, it changes a POST request to a GET request. I had to change the server to re-write the url instead of redirect it.

I also had to enable Application Request Routing in IIS Manager. I followed the instructions in this post.

A web application framework I am using automatically redirects POST requests for the action URL to the same URL with a trailing slash. HTTP redirection downgrades POST to GET.

The problem is rather common and the answer quite elusive:

Somewhere in your code you have an orphaned <form>. This means that the next form is nested in the previous one, and its method is ignored. Delete or close the superfluous <form> and you are done.

I did have the same problem once here what i did: the problem first come when a form is nested inside another one, and its method is ignored.

the solution is pretty simple: Delete or close the superfluous and you're good to go .

It should be a post (assuming that you forgot the closing tag only in your example). I added your code and put the closing tag in an html file and submitted in Chrome. This is what I see in the network trace:

Also look at this question in case you are doing the same.

May simply be that your user-agent is ignoring the form method because you haven't put quotes around the attribute.

Try:

 <form name="mistake" action="http://web-server:8888/WebApp/Email/Create" method="post">

Try method="post" instead of method=post
