152991 - Trailing white space in input values is deleted in form submission

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 114997

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Stephen Heise]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020607
BuildID:    0000000000

Trailing white space in form values is not passed by browser at time of form
submission.  I am maintaining an auto-detect test database of all visitors at
http://www.streetprices.com/mozilla/20020619-1.pl

A simple test case is:

<form method=get>
<input type=hidden name=dei value="feif&#9;">
<input type=submit>
</form>

Correct browsers pass a value of 'feif' followed by a tab character.
Faulty browsers drop the trailing white space and pass only a value of 'feif'.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on the submit button in a form containing values that end with
intentional white-space.

Actual Results:  Mozilla passed only the value 'feif'.

Expected Results:  Mozilla should have passed 'feif' AND the trailing tab
character (cgi-encoded).

You can test your fix at http://www.streetprices.com/mozilla/20020619-1.pl

Please pass a _unique_ HTTP_USER_AGENT value for each build you test.

Thanks!
