145145 - newlines in form fields (embedded 
)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[Mark Daniel]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc2)
Gecko/20020510
BuildID:    2002051006 (Win2k)   2002051122 (OpenVMS)

Inside a form field value, for example

  <input TYPE=hidden NAME=title VALUE="&#10;&#10; -LOGGING-&#10;">

I use embedded, encoded newlines to add layout to submitted form content.  This
has always worked in Navigator (and does with MSIE) but is not honoured in
Mozilla.  Bug or feature?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  See example URL
2.  View HTML source.
3.  Hit submit button.
4.  View results.

jk and i looked at this and looks like the parser is removing the LF's from the
hidden's value. (checked in the dom inspector)

This WORKSFORME on both Mac and Linux trunk. The line feeds are shown in the CGI dump and are also present in the DOMi values.
