Anyone know to get IE6 to return POST data from a textarea when the text is pasted in?

Works fine for Mozilla, etc.

print_r($_POST) shows several <input...> and <text  ...> values just fine.

Thanks....


For those interested, here is the answer...

Text pasted into a textarea [e.g., from Word] can have characters not defined in IE's textarea ISO-8859-1 charset.

Appearently, IE6 has a bug such that it does not send the POST value for the textarea name when some of these are present. [e.g., "…" char [hex 85]] I don't know how many.

You can get it to work by right-mouse selecting Encoding UTF-8 on the client browser or use in the html header:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" >
