@page "/"

<PageTitle>Home</PageTitle>

<h1>Hello, world!</h1>

This  workS in WebAssembly BLAZOR

<form action="https://localhost:44303/api/employees/nobody/6" method="post">
    <input type="number" name="Id" />
    <input type="text" name="name" />
    <input type="number" name="Salary" />
    <button type="submit"></button>
</form>

======================

@page "/"

<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
This does not work in MAUI BLAZOR!!!
<form action="https://localhost:44303/api/employees/nobody/6" method="post">
    <input type="number" name="Id" />
    <input type="text" name="name" />
    <input type="number" name="Salary" />
    <button type="submit"></button>
</form>

================= This is very strange issue IMO. Why even html 5 is not supported in MAUI BLAZOR??? IT SHOULD NOT BE Backlog , because <EditForm Model="@employee" OnValidSubmit="HandleValidSubmit"> cannot deal with all situations easily

more, The following also changed to GET method:

export function attachDummyButtonClick(url, buttonSelector, formSelector) {
    Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(buttonSelector)).forEach((button) => {
        button.addEventListener('click', async (event) => {
            event.preventDefault();

            const form = document.querySelector(formSelector);
            form.action = url;
            form.method = 'POST';// 'GET'; // Change to the desired method (e.g., 'POST', 'PUT', etc.)
            form.submit();
        });
    });
}

Hi @infofromca , in general in Blazor forms just post to the app itself. Is there a reason that the action in <form action="https://localhost:44303/api/employees/nobody/6" method="post"> is posting to a specific host/port? Is that trying to post and re-load the whole page? Or is it just posting to an API and not expecting any redirect or other full-page response?

BTW the reason it works in Blazor WebAssembly is that it's running in a browser, so almost any HTML feature will work in the normal way. But in BlazorWebView there is no browser, just a webview control, and it's specifically configured for hosting local Blazor apps. There's no web server, no ports, no HTTP at all. For that reason I wouldn't expect it to work.
