Attached forms demonstrate that when using Internet Explorer and trying to do a POST submission of instance data to a resource, errors occur.

When running the attached files on a local webserver, I expect clicking "Submit" in the test-submission-POST.html form to do the following:

• Send data to assets/echo.aspx
• Browser address bar URL change to echo.aspx
• The posted XML instance is displayed as a tree of XML (as per screen-shot-1.gif).
• Selecting "View Source" in the browser to show the XML that was submitted

Currently the following happens:

• Data is sent to echo.aspx (verified with Fiddler)
• Browser address bar URL stays as test-submission-POST.html
• Pop-up error 'Runtime Error has occured' (as shown in screen-shot-2.gif)
• No tree of XML is shown
• Selecting "View Source" shows the XML that was submitted (* although in other browsers, the original document source is shown)

I've attached the screen shots, the test-submission-POST.html and echo.aspx files that show the behaviour described above.

screen-shot-1.gif shows the results when the formsPlayer plugin is used with the form. I have also attached that form, test-submmission-POST-fp.html.

Setting module label to 'XForms' and accepting the issue. Also marking it as 'critical' since it is crucial for 1st Software's forms.

errors fixed in http://code.google.com/r/creavenmoro-backplanejs/source/detail?r=9b227d991bef8bccce3ce9b7a3240c491eed4e5c

now it works as described here: http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-xforms-20031014/slice11.html

"For a success response including a body, when the value of the replace attribute on element submission is "all", the event xforms-submit-done is dispatched, and submit processing concludes with entire containing document being replaced with the returned body."

It replaces current document (using document.write):

//submission.prototype.processResult
case "all":
oObserver.ownerDocument.logger.log("@replace = 'all'", "submission");

if (oResult.method === "PUT") {
    document.location.href = oResult.resourceURI;
} else {
    this.replaceDocumentContent(sData); // replace document
}
break;

//submission.prototype.replaceDocumentContent
document.write(data);
document.close();
