New IE9 browser not working with my get form

Get Started

Hello, I have a two-step form that posts GET data to the URL and it has been working great for the past few years in FireFox, Chrome, Internet Explorer 7 and 8.

Here is how its being posted in the browser and works fine:

www.mywebsite.com/page.php?row2009_523=253.3&rowcagr_523=10.5&row2009_524=172.6&rowcagr_524=10.3&row2009_525=10.2&rowcagr_525=14.8&row2009_526=93.1&rowcagr_526=9.8&row2009_527=128.1&rowcagr_527=9.8&row2009_528=76.6&rowcagr_528=10.7&row2009_529=64.1&rowcagr_529=11.0&row2009_530=59.7&rowcagr_5

However, the new IE9 is posting the GET data as:

www.mywebsite.com/page.php?dataTableArray=a%3A29%3A%7Bi%3A0%3Bs%3A3%3A%22198%22%3Bi%3A1%3Bs%3A3%3A%22199%22%3Bi%3A2%3Bs%3A3%3A%22200%22%3Bi%3A3%3Bs%3A3%3A%22201%22%3Bi%3A4%3Bs%3A3%3A%22202%22%3Bi%3A5%3Bs%3A3%3A%22203%22%3Bi%3A6%3Bs%3A3%3A%22204%22%3Bi%3A7%3Bs%3A3%3A%22205%22%3Bi%3A8%3Bs%3A3%3A%22206%22%3Bi%3A9%3Bs%3A3%3A%22207%22%3Bi%3A10%3Bs%3A3%3A%22208%22%3Bi%3A11%3Bs%3A3%3A%22209%22%3Bi%3A12%3Bs%3A3%3A%22210%22%3Bi%3A13%3Bs%3A3%3A%22211%22%3Bi%3A14%3Bs%3A3%3A%22212%22%3Bi%3A15%3Bs%3A3%3A%22213%22%3Bi%3A16%3Bs%3A3%3A%22214%22%3Bi%3A17%3Bs%3A3%3A%22215%22%3Bi%3A18%3Bs%3A3%3A%22216%22%3Bi%3A19%3Bs%3A3%3A%22217%22%3Bi%3A20%3Bs%3A3%3A%22218%22%3Bi%3A21%3Bs%3A3%3A%22219%22%3Bi%3A22%3Bs%3A3%3A%22220%22%3Bi%3A23%3Bs%3A3%3A%22221%22%3Bi%3A24%3Bs%3A3%3A%22222%22%3Bi%3A25%3Bs%3A3%3A%22223%22%3Bi%3A26%3Bs%3A3%3A%22224%22%3Bi%3A27%3Bs%3A3%3A%22225%22%3Bi%3A28%3Bs%3A3%3A%22226%22%3B%7D&country_id=3&procedure_id=1&table_id=4&x=134&y=12

Any ideas why IE9 is now the only browser (no jokes please :slight_smile: ) that is treating this GET data differently?

Bumping. Also I am noticing that it only happens when I am not running in IE compatibility mode. With compatibility mode on, it works normally. With it off, i get what I posted above.

Any idea what I am doing wrong (requiring compatibility mode)?

I just pasted your form in to a HTML file and tested this, it seems to me that this is working as intended.

These are the URLs I get when I submit the form:

Do you perhaps have a sample page up somewhere that could help us identify the problem?

You really need to use POST for this, GET has data limitations both for browsers and on the server side.

I’ve converted everything from GET to POST and still have the same issues. Sending PM’s to view it
