IE11-Only Submit Bug

Question

I have a form on a page, something simple like:

    Submit
         


        

Answer 1

The problem appears when a form only has input elements without a name attribute (or no input elements). I found a reference to the bug here, though it also happens in desktop mode and not just metro mode as the link claims:

The fix is to create a dummy field (with a name and value set) before submitting the form.

The bug happens in all compatibility modes offered by IE11.
