Forum OpenACS Q&A: "pop-up" form values

Where might code be that interprets form GET requests but not GET requests via a browser?

Sadly I think I added some diagnostic code without proper procedure, and am having difficulty locating it.

One can browse to this url, and the url remains unchanged:

http://birdswelcome.com/configurator?spec1ref=sw6886&spec2ref=sw6926&spec3ref=sw6796&model=arbh

but if I press the update button, suddenly two new form inputs appear: x and y, apparently with timing related values.

Any ideas where to find?

I've grepped most everywhere: egrep -w y *

Jeff, yeah, they look like x,y coordinates, but I'm fairly certain I added them to test timing/performance somewhere in the internals where I wasn't sure if ns_log would work, perhaps in the tcl library of aolserver..

Anyway, this is a great example nightmare of why to always provide clear comments with any diagnostic code; and to leave the comments there until 100% of the diagnostic code is removed.

Dave, Jeff, apparently you're right.

That's quite a coincidence, since I happened to use generic x and y for timing diagnostics. I'm glad I posted instead of continuing the search onward to insanity.

The button is html-only to increase compatibility between clients and avoid dependency on css and javascript.

cheers,

Torben
