Re: [users@httpd] Problem with HTML datalist tag
Don't know where you got that idea supposing httpd modifies html pages. HTTPD does not touch html pages, it's not its function, nor the function or any other web server, httpd sends them to the client when requested and the client interprets them. It is at least surprising you blame the Apache Web Server over the client in something like this. I would be inclined to think (but you didn't showed the source of the file you see with the browser when you access it in the server), since your server is in Linux and you are handling the file and testing locally in a windows, that it is a carriage return thing rather than any other. Try dos2unix the file in the server or similar, remember windows and Linux do not use the same characters for newline/carriage returns.

Re: [users@httpd] Problem with HTML datalist tag
Does httpd parse shtml files or does it hand it off like it hands of php files? I thought httpd did handle the shtml requests, but it’s been over 10 years since people cared about shtml. :) HTTPD does not touch html pages, it's not its function, nor the function or any other web server, httpd sends them to the client when requested and the client interprets them.

Presumably it is sent bit for bit the same, but there is a chance that some metadata is wrong, such as if you are using a non-standard file extension for the media type or your server is strangely configured. Otherwise, you could probably get better help from a HTML-related group. -- Born in Roswell... married an alien... http://emptyhammock.com/
