JS DOC table submit problem

[samaelsh]

Hi all!
My problem is this:
I`ve got an ASP application with an object clsid:2D360201-FFF5-11D1-8D03-00A0C959BC0A element (this is DHTML tool for text editing). There is also a form in my application. When I press the "save" button, the app gets the contents of this "clsid:2D36..." object, assigns them to one of the form`s fields and submits the form. When submitting simple MS Word DOC text (or any other), everything is fine. But when you try to submit a table from a DOC file, an error occurs: "Access denied" at the line when I submit form: document.forms(0).submit();
Here`s some code:

function partifyDocument( varDocument )
{
    var strRetVal;
 
    strRetVal = varDocument.body.innerHTML;
 
    return strRetVal;
 
}
 
function saveAction()    
{
    if (document.forms(0).hlp_type.checked != true)    {
        try    {
            document.forms(0).hlp_file.value    =    null;
            var strContent =    partifyDocument(tbContentElement.DOM)
            document.forms(0).hlp_text.value    =    strContent;
            }    catch(exception)    {
                    }    
                }
        SaveAndCloseClicked =    true;
}
 
function submitAction()    
{
    if( document.forms(0).<%=arrLstFlds(1)%>.value == "" ){
          alert("Header must not be empty");
            return false;
        }
    document.forms(0)._action.value            =    'edit'
    saveAction();
        SaveAndCloseOver                        =    true;
    //alert('submiting...');
    //document.write(tbContentElement.DOM.body.innerHTML);
    document.forms(0).submit(); ///Error occures here!!!
}

Please post your suggextions and advice, I would really appreciate any help!
P.S.: I`m not actually the author of the app, I`m just fulfilling the bugfixing task

Hi I think its may be due to the string capacity u may get problem when u place the table inside the string. It may be a problem I am not sure. I dont have much knowledge in ASP. why cant you try session objects or request objects directly to set the contents.

Thank you for your reply!
But I can`t use a request or a session object to do this. This is not ASP.NET.
And in addition there is another asp page with a VB script which processes the form after it has been submitted. So the only way is to submit the form with DOC-text in its input field (attribute action="_HelpAdit.asp").

Why cant you try with cookies... Is there any specific requirement that, cookies should not be used?

Thanks and Regards

Well, I thought about the cookies, but this mechanism is used to edit help topics, and their size can grow really fast, and cookies must be rather compact.
I`ve just found out that it is not specifically DOC problem. The JS submit script fails with error if I try to save any HTML table. Can there are there some specific issues with HTML content of form`s input tags? Or may be I can`t save some HTML tags into javascript string?

[samaelsh]

RamananKalirajan, you were right!!!
This is because of the length of JS string. MS Explorer has a limitiation on the size of JS string. In Mozilla this limit is greater than in IE, and in Mozilla this error does not occur. But I have to make this work in IE. Can I submit this form partly, for exapmle submit the first half of the string and then the second?

[RamananKalirajan]

Obviously that u can do.. But instead u can send the string content in two parameters.. so that you can send the value in the single submission itself.

Thanks and Regards
