Question

Iframe form not submittin in IE but working in Firefox

Answer 1

+1 A:

In the first case, I believe the sequence of the requests/responses is the following, please correct me if I'm wrong.

We'll call A brugman/budgetplanner/aanmelden.php and B /brugman/budgetplanner/.

You're on some page, X and in FF you do the following:

Request: POST A 
Response: Redirect B (that's the 302)

Request: GET B
Response: Result of B

However, in IE, it seems like the following:

Request: POST A
Response: Redirect B (that's the 302)

Request: GET B
Response: Redirect Y (We see another 302)

What is happening is that something in the second case is causing B to also return a redirection header. The problem is not in the client but the server.

The additional information that everyone else is asking for:

What is the request/response BODY of the 4 fiddler headers you posted (Go to inspecters, Raw View on both top and bottom panes to get this). This would more clearly show the values of X and Y in my above sequences.
What is in the server PHP code, the problem is almost certainly at B (/brugman/budgetplanner/)

Comparing the bodies of the the second request as per IE and FF should give you an indication of how the server sees them differently (to the server, a client is just an agent that prepares a request). Based on the difference in requests, the server sends back a different response.

The problem indeed was the budgetplanner, it redirects back to the first step in wizard if the sessions are not set. I have stared myself blind on the first part, the submitting...

Answer 2

A:

The following was the problem:

I was submitting the form, checking the post and then setting a session. This session wasn't set because in IE when you want to use Session vars in an iFrame you have to set header settings.

This is the code used for doing that:

ADD IN THIS LINE IN ORDER TO SOLVE THE INTERNET EXPLORER ALWAYS GET NEW SESSION ISSUE
header('P3P: CP="CAO PSA OUR"');

This is to make sure IE allows you to use sessions.

Note that setting a P3P header means that you're making a legally-binding statement of how you're using the cookie you're setting it for. So, make sure that your P3P statement is correct.
