I've noticed some strange behaviour with respect to validation of user input.
Normally, using Linux, the die function in user input validation works as
expected. However, the same code in IE, the DIE function does not work as
expected.
I've noticed that fields, that should die and barf an error message, seem to
allow no input. Often, I notice that the user has entered a different
spelling as well. I'm puzzled by this (Furthermore, I wasn't aware the user
could change the contents of a dropdown select list [I cannot duplicate it in
Linux). Since one of the affected fields receives its input from an included
file (provcountry.dpn), perhaps this ius an IE issue??
provcountry.dpn
<td><b>Country </b></td>
<td><SELECT NAME=rcountry>
<option selected>Choose from List
<OPTION>USA
/* list of countries follows */
snippet code in validation page:
<?php
...
if ($_POST['rcountry'] == "Choose from List") die ("<h5><br><br>Please choose
your Country from the drop-down list<br><br><br>Click 'Back' on your
browser to enter this information</h5>");
...
?>
Any pointers of what I'm missing here would be appreciated.
Tia,
Andre
