IE7 and 9 don't like METHOD_POST

[slowpoison]

My GWT app uses a FormPanel with method set to 'METHOD_POST' in ui.xml. This causes both IE7 and 9 to complain about it saying "invalid argument". If I change it to 'POST' manually, it works. What gives?

I'm having trouble that this is an oversight on GWT's part. Is there anything I am missing?

METHOD_POST and METHOD_GET are constants of type String; setAction on FormPanel takes a String argument. So the value you put in the ui.xml is the String value you set directly, so you should use "POST", not "METHOD_POST".

That would be different with an enum value, but here it's only String.

In that case, it's the GWT Desinger's fault, because I chose a value from the drop-down. Nonetheless, thanks.
