Consider the following HTML page. <HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM ACTION='QueryStringPrinter'>
<SELECT NAME='Composer' MULTIPLE>
<OPTION VALUE='Brahms'>Brahms
<OPTION VALUE='Chopin'>Chopin
<OPTION VALUE='Liszt'>Liszt
<OPTION VALUE='Schubert'>Schubert
</SELECT>
<INPUT TYPE='SUBMIT' NAME='SubmitButton' VALUE='SEND'>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
If you select both Brahms and Schubert, then press the submit button, what will the query string sent to the web server contain?
A Composer=Brahms,Schubert B Composer=BrahmsSELECTED&Composer=Chopin&Composer=Liszt&Composer=SchubertSELECTED&SubmitButton=SEND C Composer=Brahms,Schubert,SubmitButton=SEND D Composer=Brahms&Composer=Schubert&SubmitButton=SUBMIT E Composer=Brahms&Composer=Schubert&SubmitButton=SEND Page down for the answer... The AnswerThe correct answer is E, Composer=Brahms&Composer=Schubert&SubmitButton=SEND. The essentials are: every selected value is sent as a separate name/value pair, separated by "&". Unselected values from the SELECT tag are simply not sent (so answer B is nonsense). The "submit" button is included in the query string, because it has a NAME ("SubmitButton") with which to associate the value. |
