yes, i also found that.. the problem is that from what i've seen, the AbstractFormParser derives from the 'standard' python SGMLParser. and i created a minimal SGMLParser, and it behaves correctly. it reports the textarea with '' (empty string) content. anyway, it's 1:28AM already. will try to investigate more tomorrow :) gabor _______________________________________________ twill mailing list [email protected] http://lists.idyll.org/listinfo/twill
