Submitting empty forms

zhumar 03 Jan, 2013
I am having an issue with the one of the forms on my client's site. Somehow, there have been two submissions where every field is considered NULL in the database. I can get it to glitch a bit and allow me to submit with empty fields in IE even though validation is turned on. However, this makes the fields blank and the select fields still have values in the database. The strange part is, even the field that just displays "Submit" is coming up NULL for those two submissions.

Is there some kind of bug that can cause this to happen? If they're not submitting an empty form, what are they doing?

I'm not sure that FAQ applies here. The issue is that the field values come in as NULL instead of just blank. I am attaching a screenshot to help show what I mean. The red box around those two columns indicate the two select boxes on the form. There is no empty value for those so I don't know how they manage to be empty in those two db entries.

Hi zhumar,

Sorry, I've got nothing else to suggest here beyond what is in the FAQ.

That's unfortunate. It seems like those two submissions were made without actually using the form. Not sure what they would do to do that, but hopefully we can find a fix for it.
