Form fields not being passed in IE 6

I'm testing out the new form I developed and it's not passing the data to the submission page in IE 6. IE 7 and Firefox work fine, but in IE 6 the submission page isn't getting any form data.

    I found out that it was the version of IE 6 I was testing against. It was the original version of IE 6 which I installed using MultipleIEInstaller. Once I tested the form on the version our organization uses it was fine. I'm just going to leave it alone for now, and try to fix it once I'm done working on development

    try using 'encoding' instead of 'enctype'?

    do you have an onClick event in your submit button? ie6 will not like
    that...

    also, see if getting rid of the file input's onchange event helps with
    this ie6 problem...

    It's the enctype="multipart/form-data" in my cfform which is causing issues with IE6. Does anyone know how to get around this??

    I've determined that it's due to this line:

    <input type="file" name="perf_imp_plan_lnk" id="fileField2" class="textInput"
    onChange="readFile(this,'valid_perf_link');"/>

    am I not able to use a file input field with a cfform or is it the enctype that's screwing it up??
