Hi Leon,
I tried you snippet below, and got the expected url -- namely, the one
specified by the "action" attribute. I also got the name-value pairs
for the submit button and hidden field.
Since my test server is on port 8501, I edited your "action" url to
include that port number, as follows:
action="http://localhost:8501/cgi-bin/test/cgi-bin/test?rm-login";
Here's the packet that was sent by Safari to the server on port 8501,
as follows:
---
POST /cgi-bin/test/cgi-bin/test?rm-login HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8501
Connection: close
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us)

fi;q=0.41, ko-kr;q=0.38
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 34
update=update+particular&rm=update
---
Note that no additional information was appended to the post url (see
first line of packet above); also note that the form field name-value
pairs appear correctly (see last line of packet above.)
To view packets sent between Safari and the server, I used
INTERARCHY. See the following link for details:

Hope this info helps.
Regards,

I found Safari behaves differently from IE and Netscape:
- I run it in Safari. I click the "update particular" button I got
the URL like this:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/test?rm=login?rm=update which obviously
created error
- When I run the same HTML on IE and Netscape I got the URL like this:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/test?rm=update
