Actually, there's no Javascript tied to that INPUT tag.besides, isn't the
SIZE/MAXLENGTH restriction handled by the browser itself, no matter if
Javascript is turned on or off?

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?

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.
