POST parameter for On-line Find_Orb page to prefill observations automatically about find_orb HOT 2 OPEN

fo.htm does use POST (hit Ctrl-U to see). But the enctype="multipart/form-data" part may be throwing you off.

I think all I'll have to do here is to provide an fo_post.htm' page, identical to fo.htm` except that it omits that bit. Should be able to do that when I'm back home.

Interesting point about the URL parameters failing. I know it used to work... unfortunately, I've not used it in a long time, and have no real clue as to when it broke or why. Will investigate.

Okay, I see what I did wrong with the URL. It should point to the CGI code, not to the Web page. Example, also modified to point to a for-real object :
