Item8103: FormPlugin rendering is non-deterministic, forms become useless

Priority: Urgent
Current State: Closed
Released In:
Target Release:

Applies To: Extension
Component: FormPlugin
Branches:

Reported By: Foswiki:Main.UlrichSpoerlein
Waiting For: Main.ArthurClemens
Last Change By: ArthurClemens

Running Foswiki 1.0.4 on Apache 2.2 with mod_perl and FormPlugin will behave non-deterministic. When refreshing a page multiple times, about half of the times the starting

tags will not be printed, rendering the form useless.

The example provided by the Plugin:

---++ test

%STARTFORM{ name="myform" action="view" }%
%FORMELEMENT{ name="Name" type="text" title="Enter your name:" mandatory="on" }%
%FORMELEMENT{ type="submit" buttonlabel="Submit" }%
%ENDFORM%

will be rendered as:

<h2><a name="test"></a> test </h2>
<p />
<p />

<a name="FormElementName"></a>
<p> <span class="formPluginTitle">Enter your name:</span> <br /> <input type="text" name="Name" tabindex="41"  size="40" class="foswikiInputField" /> <span class="formPluginMandatory">*</span>  </p>
<input type="hidden" name="FP_validate_Name" value="Name=s"  />
<a name="FormElement"></a>
<p> <input type="submit" tabindex="42" name="" value="Submit" class="foswikiSubmit" />   </p>
</div><!--/FormPlugin form end--><div><input type="hidden" name=".cgifields" value="IssueType"  /></div>
</form>

Pretty b0rken, huh?

Hopefully fixed with release FormPlugin version 1.5, Item1962.
