Maybe a user has their javascript turned off? Or they're running through some 
sort of proxy like privoxy that changes the html/javascript code to block ads 
and such?

Subject: [houcfug] HTML puzzle

Okay, this is more of a HTML issue than a Cold Fusion issue (though it's being 
generated by a Cold Fusion page) but I got a head-scratcher I'd like to run by 
you folks.

I just got an automatically generated email from one of the sites I work on, 
containing a Cold Fusion error. The error was caused by a CFQUERYPARAM tag 
trying to save a too-long string to a database. I went to the original page, 
thinking that an INPUT tag is missing a MAXLENGTH attribute somewhere. But it 
turns out that the INPUT tag indeed has its both SIZE and MAXLENGTH in place. 
It works as it should when I tested it in IE 7.0 and Foxfire.

So, the question is, how did this too-long string (which was the value 
"Colorado") get past a 2-character text box? One possibility would be a 
custom-written form outside the web server, but the HTTP_REFERRER  variable 
pointed at the original page on the web server.  If it helps anything, the user 
agent was "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; GTB5; SLCC1;.NET 
CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506; MS-RTC LM 8" which looks like IE 7.0, if I'm 
reading it correctly.


Puzzledly yours,
