inscatolati - Get out of the box! :)

When creating a form, if the "method" attribute contains leading spaces, some versions of Internet Explorer will submit the form using the GET method, regardless of the value of the attribute. As for 2005/2006, all recent versions of IE exhibit this behavior. As an example:

<form method="GET" ... # correct, GET method used <form method="POST" ... # correct, POST method used <form method=" POST" ... # wrong, GET method used

Note that other browsers, like firefox, ignore the leading spaces and will correctly send data using the POST method.
