Google Chrome: Web forms, empty action won’t work!
July 21, 2009 — Jason AshdownAfter doing some testing, I was wondering why the hell my form wasn’t submitting any POST data in Google Chrome.
It turns out that Google Chrome will not “post” to a form when the “action” destination is left blank.
Using a relative path doesn’t seem to work, it has to be absolute… I can understand why they would do this but but it’s the only browser I have come across that behaves in this fashion. Normally other browsers would allow the “action” property to be blank and still allow submission of the form.
It’s good practise but annoying!
