[thelist] bug in ie/nt with post method of form?

[.jeff]

hey,

not usually much of a question asker, more of a contributor, but i'm up
against a deadline and don't have time to research this happening elsewhere
although i swear i've heard of it.

got the following browser:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)

submitting a form in one of our administrative applications.  the weird
thing is that it seems to be doubling up the form field values on some (but
not all of the fields.


FORM

  ADVERTISER_ID      "128"
  CATEGORY_ID        "3,3"
  DATE_CREATED       ""
  DATE_LASTMODIFIED  ""
  DESCRIPTION        "pop, oldies, concerts, The Lettermen,
                      Suncoast Resort"
  EVENT_END          "09/30/2001,09/30/2001"
  EVENT_START        "09/28/2001,09/28/2001"
  FIELDNAMES         "STARTROW,MAXROWS,CATEGORY_ID,LISTING_ID,
                      THUMB_SRC,THUMB_SIZE,THUMB_HEIGHT,THUMB_WIDTH,
                      NAME,EVENT_START,EVENT_END,LISTING_START,
                      LISTING_END,THUMB,STARTROW,MAXROWS,CATEGORY_ID,
                      LISTING_ID,THUMB_SRC,THUMB_SIZE,THUMB_HEIGHT,
                      THUMB_WIDTH,NAME,EVENT_START,EVENT_END,
                      LISTING_START,LISTING_END,THUMB,ADVERTISER_ID,
                      DESCRIPTION,PUBLISHED,DATE_CREATED,
                      DATE_LASTMODIFIED,RT_DESCRIPTION,SUBMIT"
  LISTING_END        "10/01/2001,10/01/2001"
  LISTING_ID         "0,0"
  LISTING_START      "09/01/2001,09/01/2001"
  MAXROWS            "25,25"
  NAME               "The Lettermen,The Lettermen"
  PUBLISHED          "1"
  RT_DESCRIPTION     "SUNCOAST RESORT<BR><FONT face=Arial><STRONG>THE
                      LETTERMEN<BR></STRONG></FONT>9/28 - 9/30, 8pm<BR>
                      From $ 24.95 + tax<BR>For tickets &amp; information
                      call 702-365-7075.<BR>"
  STARTROW           "1,1"
  SUBMIT             "Save"
  THUMB              "C:\WINNT\TEMP\ACF6F.tmp"
  THUMB_DELETE       "false"
  THUMB_HEIGHT       "94,94"
  THUMB_SIZE         "2106,2106"
  THUMB_SRC          ""
  THUMB_WIDTH        "75,75"

if you notice, the fieldnames variable contains duplicates.  that made me
suspect that it was coldfusion.  however, if it was, then why wouldn't they
all be doubled?  i'm guessing the duplicates come from the browser sending
the same name more than once.  so, somehow some of the fields are being
created more than once for this particular user.  i've tested and retested
this form here with the same browser/os combination and haven't been able to
replicate the problem so it's definitely not a problem with the form itself.

anybody have any ideas?  anybody ever seen this before?

thanks,
