Default POST'ing data not working with Windows Vista

(I hope this is the correct section for this.. )

The situation is...
On a website we created, we have a section for content entry.
The code is straightforward and has been working fine for years..

user supplied information on 'page1' is POST'd to 'page2'.
Page2 has code that inserts the information into a database.
The information is text, using input boxes and textareas

The issue appears to be on the users' end, since it only happens
with customers who are using Windows Vista.

The information is not making it to Page2.

We do not have any machines running Vista, so we are not too familiar with it.
Is there a setting somewhere that could be causing this?

(I do not know the version of IE the clients are using, or which SP have been installed.)

It is not an issue I have encountered myself using Vista, but there may be a change to one of the default security settings that is causing the problem. Could you post a URL for testing?

All vista machines come with IE7. I've not had ANY issues with any forms on the web with Vista at all. Actually my experience has been much better now that i have upgraded!

I agree with Wige, perhaps its a security setting.

IE blocks
Code:
javascript:prompt()
by default. At least this is true for the latest German versions. Maybe there are other features which are now blocked, too?
