“an email is automatically sent to me”, not “it”. Sorry.

I am having this problem right now. I made a personal site that has some user interaction (comments, ratings, etc) and for the off chance that someone actually stumbles on my site and interacts with it an email is automatically sent to it. Well, sure enough, yesterday someone used IE and my email notice had the _y at the end. For the last few minutes I’ve been debugging and noticed that when I do print_r($_POST) IE doesn’t print the value of the input (which, in my input’s case, is 1). It looks like this: Array ( [dog_x] => 15 [dog_y] => 12 ) but in FF it looks like this: Array ( [dog_x] => 13 [dog_y] => 12 [dog] => 1 ). Long story short, I’m changing those buttons to css stylized anchors. Thanks for the sanity check.

I had the same problem and you solved it!!!

There something I don’t understand though. Why IE would add _x or _y to the input name? When to expect _x and when _y?

You make my day as well here : I never ran into this one single issue. I have always assumed when coding php that server-side code was client-independent. Thrust Internet Explorer to defy this assumption, right…?

Microsoft strikes again!

Thanks for your posts, it was super useful!

Thanks you so so much…
