Hi All,
Not sure if this is the proper group for this, but you might be able to
direct me to the appropriate place.
Here is the problem. I need to pass a hidden text input field that
contains a line break. If I just enter a carriage return in the "VALUE="
it does not seem to work with MSIE. Is there a way to escape the carriage
return?
I tried %0A and %0D, but the "%" itself get escaped into %25.
I do not have the source code to the CGI that I am using, (it is a
commercial product), so I cannot just enter a unique string of characters
say '\n' and have the CGI replace that with a line break.
I do think it is a problem with MSIE, since also a TEXTAREA does not work.
i.e. if I enter multiple lines into the text area, MSIE also strips the
carriage returns from the input.
Am I doing anything wrong? any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
-avi
