I am not setting a length to the textarea at all. Here is the exact specs: *textarea name=save_text cols=90 rows=22*
I am not aware what specs that NS7.1 might be applying to this form. It is a shame since I have always preferred using NS over IE.

Just a wild guess, but to what is the length attribute of the textobx set? And what is the default? You never know, it might be behaving according to rarely-implemented specs...

| | | Hello,
| | For the record, I have finally tracked down the source of | this problem.
| The error occurs only when opening the file into a textbox, | while using
| Netscape 7 as your browser.
| | IE processes this page properly without any errors. And NS7.1
| loads this information truncated into the textarea in the HTML.
| | Perhaps there are members of the NS higher powers lurking in this
| list. If so, I can duplicate the error on a regular basis.
