The form submits properly if you manually change the value but if you change it programmatically the value reflects the newly changed value, but the form submits the value in the field. It appears that this is a one way issue: if you change the value manually, alerting the value with javascript works as does alerting the value after changing it with javascript, but the form does not change to reflect the new value and the old value is submitted to the CGI. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a simple page with a form on a div 2.use innerHTML to rewrite the div 3.use javscript to set the new form field value 4.use javascript to alert the new form field value 5.submit the form Actual Results: The form is submitted with the value in the field, but not the value that was placed in there by javascript Expected Results: The form field should be updated to the value set in the javascript. Works in Netscape 7.0.x, does not work in Netscape 7.1+ Does not work in Mozilla 1.3, 1.3b, 1.4 or 1.5
This is an html test case. You can test part of the functionality. To test the full functionality create a simple program that outputs all the posted data and see what the browser submits.
Anthony, could you give step-by-step instructions as to what I should do with that testcase to reproduce the problem? What is the expected result after those steps?

Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts.
