Jerry,
Unfortunately, you will have a problem if error.diagnostics contains a
double quote (as it often does). Let me invoke the hallowed name of Dave
Watts, who pointed out that the only HTML element that can safely pass
the single quotes and double quotes that appear in error.diagnostics is
the textarea. I use hidden form fields for all but error.diagnostics;
for that one I use a tiny textarea at the bottom of the page, with a note
next to it saying, "<-- ignore this".
