Problem text box, concatenating with next line...

57 New Member

Hi all.

I have a form which has a table and within the rows of the table are simple text input boxes. The ONLY problems with this is that when the form is posted (in text format) if the number of characters in a text box goes over 30 the next text box is concatenated in the email which the form sends!!

The table with the boxes is here....

[HTML]
<form method="post" action="mailto: an.email@addres s.com?subject=E N$(FORMNO)" enctype="text/plain" subject="New User" name="Enrolment " onsubmit="retur n formCheck(this) ;" id="e_form" language="JavaS cript"><table border="0" width="72%" id="table2" bgcolor="#FFFFC C">
<tr>
<td align="right" width="37%"><p align="left"><f ont color="#0000FF" ><b>Step 1 - Line Managers Details.</b></font></td>
<td align="left" width="62%">&nb sp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" colspan="2"><p align="left"><f ont size="2"><b>Thi s should be the details of the line manager requesting this e-Enrolment.</b></font></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td align="right" width="37%"><fo nt size="2">Manage rs User ID:</font></td>
<td align="left" width="62%">&nb sp;<font size="2"><input type="text" name="memail" size="10" maxlength="8" style="text-transform: uppercase" id="manID" onblur=varifyma nager();><font color="#FF0000" >*</font></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td align="right" width="37%"><fo nt size="2">Name:</font></td>
<td align="left" width="62%">&nb sp;<input type="text" name="Manager_N ame" size="75" tabindex="75" maxlength="36"> <font color="#FF0000" >*</font></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td align="right" width="37%"><fo nt size="2">Job Title:</font></td>
<td align="left" width="62%"><in put type="text" name="MJT" size="75" tabindex="2" maxlength="75"> </td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td align="right" width="37%"><fo nt size="2">Email Address:</font></td>
<td align="left" width="62%"><in put type="text" name="Manager_E mail" size="36" tabindex="3" maxlength="36" id="manemail" onblur="emailva lidation(this, 'Email address is invalid');"><fo nt color="#FF0000" >*</font></td>
</tr>
</table>[/HTML]

The email which is produced looks like this...

memail=testline
Manager_Name=Someones name
MJT=Someones job title which goes over thirty characters in length blah blah blah blah blah Manager_Email=someones@email .work
enr_type=Existing User

So you can see the MJT Manager_Email field has joined the end of the MJT field.

I cant for the life of me figure out why..

It happens with all text boxes on the form, but if they are under 30 they line up individually on the form.

It's causing massive problems as the systems which picks up the email can only be programed to extract the data for line numbers, so the concatenation throws it all out.

Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

Ok so in the above, the example disaplyed in the forum looks like its on seperate lines, but the MJT=Someones job title which goes over thirty characters in length blah blah Manager_Email=someones@email .work

It does in the email appear on one line.

Strange string limit problem

I have a form that has a text box that allows multi-line text. When I read an 80K file into it, only 64K characters are stored and displayed.

It works fine until the file exceeds 64K. F = FreeFile

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
