Re: [Perl-unix-users] Saving Files without data loss
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. Bill Platt Bill Platt wrote: Here is some additional information. I have been doing some troubleshooting and have made a discovery about the nature of this problem. The data that is actually being trimmed is everything that resides within an html bracket that carries an equal sign. So it would seem that I am losing the data on the Open File command. I suspect that it might have something to do with my ReadParse command. It seems to be pulling pairs out of my html. Any ideas?

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... lee | -Original Message- | From: Bill Platt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 8:50 AM | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Subject: Re: [Perl-unix-users] Saving Files without data loss | | | 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.

Re: [Perl-unix-users] Saving Files without data loss
Lee, 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. Bill Platt Lee Goddard wrote: Just a wild guess, but to what is the length attribute of the textobx set? And what is the default?
