Form submit does NOT work when action="mailto:..." and size exceeds a certain limit.
I have a special case form that must be submitted to a mailto: URL. This works fine in Internet Explorer, MS Outlook, Mac Safari, and even Firefox 4.0.0.8 WHEN the size of the form is below a certain limit. However, when the size grows just one character beyond this limit, clicking the submit button has no effect. There is no error message in the error console either.
About the size limit. My entire HTML file is only 6,429 bytes. The actual form data to POST is ~1477 bytes.
This only seems to be a problem with the Windows version 4.0.0.8 and higher. On the Mac (PowerPC - Tiger) both 4.0.0.6 and 4.0.0.8 worked with out a problem with and on a much larger version of the form (72235 bytes html file, and 7628 of actual POST data. ). The latest Safari (beta) also worked.
I have tested this on the latest nightly build and with a new profile as well with the same results: firefox-3.0a9pre.en-US.win32.zip 25-Oct-2007 05:16 8.9M
It isn't typical to post via mailto:, but this form is a special case scenario and technically should be allowed.
I don't see an option to upload a file so I will paste the HTML below. The following HTML **WORKS** to make it **NOT** work simply add a few characters to the form input. For example add a "fg" to the LAST text area: <textarea readonly="readonly" rows="3" cols="40" name="search2">abcde[fg]</textarea>.
