I have tried to search for the answer to this, but came up empty.

I am writing a form checker (and submit) in jQuery, and am testing with Chrome.  Once I do my validation, if all is ok, I simply submit the form using...

1. $("form#courseForm").submit();

and here is my form tag.

1. <form name="courseForm" id="courseForm" action="courseDetail.asp" method="post">

In IE it works fine with either POST or GET methods in the form tag, but in Chrome it will only work with GET. When I try to use POST, the form does submit, but I don't get any data sent to the page at all.

The only thing I am doing different than usual, is the form does not have a submit button.  I am using a "button" tag and using jQuery to capture the click event.

1. <button type='button' name='courseSubmit' class='blueButton'>Save Changes</button>

Does anyone have any ideas why the POST isn't sending the data in Chrome?  Simple workaround is to change it to a GET and it will always work, but I see that as a bandaid fix, and not really a solution to the problem.

Thanks
