Passing querystring to pop up

Post by hessodreamy »

I've been finding some sql errors in my logs from pages which open in a new window (using javascript, and a target="_BLANK" on the hyperlink in case javascript is disabled)
From the request data, it seems that the querystring isn't being passed to the new page.
I've not been able to recreate this problem on my machine (running windows, using IE6 & Firefox 1.0.6, tried with & without various pop-up blockers). There doesn't seem to be anything unusual about the HTTP_USER_AGENT where errors have occurred.

Are there any circumstances where opening in a new window will cause the query string not to be passed?

Do you have example of what your doing! Because I don't see how that could happen if the query is attached and it's below the allowed browser length and encoded to protect special characters!

I don't see how that could happen either. I thought maybe there could be certain browser issues. Maybe some browsers mercilessly chop out a querystring if you open in a new window. I dunno, I can't see any reason for it and I'm confused.
