TEXTAREA being truncated by =

When I fill out a textarea in my form and include an embedded "=", the form
data that is being emailed is truncated at the =. Any suggestions on how to
handle it? The form uses a Perl script.

Thanks.

Sounds like the script is borked in its parsing of the data. Rewrite it to
use CGI.pm or Apache::Request to handle the parsing of the form data.

Can't imagine a possibility, how this could be caused by the HTML involved.
*Much* more likely the bug is in the perl script. You should look for a
perl newsgroup and post some more details about the script being used.

What I'd like to do is to be able to set the font of a textarea element to the same font that another element is using (say, for example, an <INPUT type=text ...> element, but if that's a no go, then a generic element's font will do OK, too. What's the correct way to do this, please (so that it will also work for IE 6)? The motivation for this is that I have some text on the screen and I want to insert a textarea element between the...

I have a textarea that must be limited to 70 characters. No big deal -- at least so I thought. * Textarea must not exceed 70 characters * Exceeding content must be cut off * Must work on input by keyboard (keypress, keyup events) * Must work on pasted input from context menu * Must work on pasted input via CTRL+V and similar * Must work on pasted input via browsers menu>Edit>Paste * Must work in Mozilla + IE and coded via W3C standards

I am writing a small database utility to catalog all of my favorite ASM/JS/VBS... functions and scripts on an asp page. Everything is going smoothly except for one thing that I can't quite seem to think my way around. I am using a <textarea> to display the code but some of my scripts have <textarea> tags in them and when the </textarea> tag is entered, it closes my <textarea> and the rest of the code ends up outside of the textarea.

The w3schools HTML tag reference for <textarea> http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_textarea.asp says that the attributes 'cols' and 'rows' are REQUIRED attributes for the textarea tag. Looking at the HTML 4.01 specification I see this, too. What I'm wondering is - 'cols' & 'rows' determines the height & width of a textarea. So shouldn't that be something that is handled by CSS instead? What would be the practical consequence of leaving...

I have a couple of functions that I Frankensteined together to replace returns with <br> and to replace spaces with &nbsp;.

I understand that escape() changes " " to "%20", but I would think the ConvertSpaces function below would change the %20 to...
