[SOLVED] GC and FF use parm default value where IE use parm value selected

Hi community,

I have a weird issue.

When using IE my HTML page does receive properly the selected parms but when using GC or FF they don't. If I add -DEFAULT (or -DEFAULTH the same in both cases) the parameter's value is overwritten by de default.

However, the selected value is properly assigned by the HTML since a can display the value just before getting out of HTML.

Also, if I'm trying to display the parameter's value at the first step in the fex I have error FOC0295 : a value is missing for &parm.

Using
-? &
-EXIT

as the first "command" in the fex that is called by the HTML, with IE I see my HTML parms definition but with GC and FF they don't even exist...

Any ideas ?

No errors displayed.

If I don't have -DEFAULT (or -DEFAULTH) for the parms, GC and FF returns error FOC0295 where IE doesn't care and proceed with received parms from HTML.

All the fex have the "Prompt for Parameters" unchecked and furthermore, I've found that it's only for that report. Other reports work fine no matter the browser.

Finally found it.

Was a code 18 issue : the parameter wasn't bind properly.

It even happens to the best Sweating
