I'm having a problem with TCPPWebBrowser and submitting
forms that use relative URLS for the action= portion.

<form action="Captcha" method="get">

As soon as the form is submitted I get a Page Cannot Be
Displayed.

How can I correct this issue? I thought I could use the
OnBeforeNavigate2 method and update the URL so that
it contains the full URL, but as I read elsewhere, in the
archives, the URL cannot be changed on the fly. However, I
can't just re-navigate without having the form fields
re-populated.

The only other thing I could think of is to change the source
of the browser after the document loads.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Tom

To add on, I've noticed that since the method is set to Get,
the data from the form should be in the URL parameter
but it's not? PostData is also empty.

So being able to store what was entered into the form
fields appears to be out of the question.

TIA,

Tom

TCppWebBrowser is just a wrapper for the IE ActiveX control.  IE
handles relative URLs just fine.  You don't need to do anything extra.
I just did a test and it worked fine.  So the problem has to be caused
by something else.  Maybe you have a plugin that is messing with the
URL, or a filewall/router that is blocking it.

Remy,

Thanks for the reply.

I don't have any plugins installed, but you got me
thinking on what else could have affected the browser.

I was extracting the source code to file using the
code you've posted many times. Apparently accessing
it in that way messes with it somehow.

I switched to extracting the source to a stream and
it's now working flawlessly.

Regards,

Tom
