No, when sending variables using *any* Mac browser (to my Mac server) POST

never works. In fact, try and "load" variables from a local text file with

the post option checked and it doesn't work then either. If you do the same

thing with GET, then the text file loads. I realize that the variables sent

to a text file will not do anything, but this shows my point. I have had

scattered conversations with MM tech support and they confirmed this. They

said they would file a report with the developers to see what was up.


I have checked the server logs and they do not even register an attempt.


The URLs are correct *full* paths


My site is Mac specific, PC users aren't a consideration.

Here is what I have going on:


If (confirm  eq  "yes")

      Comment: Success

      Go to and Stop ("ok")

Else If (confirm eq  "no")

      Comment: Failure

      Set Variable: "confirm" = ""

      Go to and Play ("retry")

End If


This is the first frame of a 2 frame loop. It continually goes back to check

the variables. It is based on the form sample in the "Sample Pages" folder.



Have a Great Day!  ;-)
