Because of this, a legal JavaScript string can change value when it is pasted into a form for analysis. This behavior was not present in Mozilla 4. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load this sample HTML: <form onsubmit="return false"> <input name="Source" size="20" value="keep together"> <input type="submit" onclick="Target.value=escape(Source.value)"> <input name="Target" size="20"> </form> 2. Press the button. The Target text control displays a URL-encoded copy of the Source control. Actual Results: Target reads "keep%20together". Expected Results: Target should read "keep%A0together".

Confirmed using http://www.squarefree.com/htmledit/ in Firebird 07/23. Also happens with   in place of . Also happens if you copy the nbsp out of the form. (But ctrl+left / ctrl+right shows that the text in the form has a non-breaking space.)

This seems to be the same problem as bug 218277 which is being resolved with a patch.

Bug confirmed with Firebird 0.7+ 20031106 I tested with my own Mozilla version with the patch I submitted for bug 218277 It worked fine then. I got keep%A0together. So bug 195946 and bug 218277 will be both resolved with the patch (id=136358).
