Re: Re: IE6 not returning POST data from a textarea

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" >

Sometimes I use BBEDIT and turn-on "Show Invisibles"... that usually catches any odd character. Then I save the file with unix line endings... Seems to work really well.

I am glad you got it figured out.

Cheers,
Micky
