-> i have a simple webpage with a form with a textarea, -> like: -> <form action="" method="get"> -> <textarea name="teaser" rows="10" cols="40"></textarea> -> </form> -> </body> -> -> the problem is that when i go there with twill, and do a submit, it -> submits this: -> -> textarea.html?teaser=%0A -> -> a newline. -> -> a different way to reproduce the problem is to simply use "showforms". -> and you will see that for all the should-be-empty textareas the content -> is a newline (there is an empty line below the textarea's line). -> -> so, is this a bug or i am doing something very stupid :) ?
Hi, Gabor, in a classic example of a not-good situation... the problem lies deeper than I'd like to go for the moment. First off, the 'handle_data' function of ClientForm.AbstractFormParser gets a newline when there's no text there. This indicates that the problem lies somewhere directly in the parsing code, and not in logistical code later on. Secondly, only a single newline occurs even when there's a newline explicitly in place, e.g. <textarea></textarea> and <textarea> </textarea> give identical results. This means that I can't hack in a fix without potentially causing trouble to people who *want* a newline! Sigh. How big a problem is this for you at the moment? Can I safely ignore it, or is this causing you real trouble? --titus _______________________________________________ twill mailing list [email protected] http://lists.idyll.org/listinfo/twill
