    Sending extra data for no reason.

    Hi, I have a form which is coded like this:
    HTML Code:
    <head>
<title>The DWS Network</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#00FF00" alink="#00FF00">
<p>Welcome <?php echo $fn;?></p>
<p>Please select you'r Bandwidth(Speed of internet)</p>
<form name="input" action="/home/win/1.php" method="get">
<input type="radio" name="bw" value="bb" checked> Broadband (128Kbps or Higher)
<br>
<input type="radio" name="bw" value="dup"> Dial-Up (64Kbps or Lower)
<input type="hidden" name="uid" value="<?php echo $uid ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="pw" value="<?php echo $pw ?>">
<input type="image" name="B1" src="/images/submitbutton.jpg"> 
<p>Click <a href="/login/?page=/home/win/bandwidth.php">Here</a> to Login before you make you'r bandwidth choice</p>
</form> 
</body>
</html>
    And it sends to a php file named 1.php but i don't need to send that file because it is the form that is puzzling because it is sending extra data. The extra data is "B1.x=105&B1.y=47"
    If there is only one perfect person in the universe, does that make them imperfect?

    Because they're using a submit button and not an image. They've applied classes on it. Take a look at their source code.

    You do have another option though, change the form's method to post instead of get.

    Simply remove the name attribute from the image and you're fine...

    One of the disadvantages of trying to write "complete" HTML, eh?
