CF Form issues

90% of my pages use <cfif isdefined("form.xxx")> to execute a block of code after the submit button is pressed. This works on my test server and I have never had a problem with the code in past websites but I just started using a new hosting company, hostnexus, and when you press the a submit button the page reloads and totally skips everything in the <cfif isdefined... code section. Here is the test page link.

Here is the code for the test page.

    i have been with hostnexus for 5 years now and do not rememeber having
    any problems with cfform...

    my guess would be they do not have CFIDE folder properly mapped in the
    temporary site preview you are using...

    it may be work checking with them to make sure CFIDE is mapped properly
    / proper virtual dir is created in IIS. they are usually lightning fast
    in their support...

    Ken was right. As far as hostnexus goes, so far they are awesome; by far better than the company I was using before. Thanks for the help guys.

    Give the form a method:

    <cfform action="test.cfm" method="post" name="myForm" id="myForm">

    That did it. Why would it work on my own server but not theirs I wonder. Must be a version difference, I am running CF 8 and they are running 7.

    Thank you,
    Matt
