hi, i found the problem. tidy :) if i turn it off, then it works fine :) this has the problem: ================ go http://blabla/page/with/empty/textarea.html showforms ================ this works fine: ================ config use_tidy 0 go http://blabla/page/with/empty/textarea.html showforms ================ i assume the problem is, that tidy changes <textarea></textarea> into <textarea> </textarea> but i am only guessing. btw. this html: <textarea /> survives fine through tidy. gabor _______________________________________________ twill mailing list [email protected] http://lists.idyll.org/listinfo/twill
