Comment on previous article: Great, another thing to check every time I build a new web page. Gotta Love MSFT, they always find another way to screw the web developers, even when they are “helping”

Have you heard of the problem where IE7 will disable the submit button of a form when the number of characters in a textarea reaches around 1800 characters?

We have a form that is online, but not publicly accessible that when users with IE7 try to access it, and put data into the textarea, the submit button will be disabled after a certain amount of text.

Also, along the same vein, IE7 will just not allow some users to enter more text. OR, IE7 will allow them to enter all the text they want, but it will not pass the entire body of text through the GET or POST request. (We tried both, despite the limitations of GET, in order to see if it was something weird).

If you have any ideas or know where I can look to solve this problem, please tell me ASAP, this is a critical issue!!!

P.S. It works JUST FINE in Firefox. I also scoured “The Google” and found only one guy who had a JS limitation on his form, which is not the case here. This is too strange…

If you have problems with Internet Explorer (IE6 or IE7) and png images you should try using this script. What happens is that sometimes IE will seem like it is loading forever, and it is really just having issues with the png image that is trying to be displayed on the page. Most times it is a transparent backround on the png that is actually causing the problem.

This script will fix that problem by essentially laying a 1px by 1px transparent .gif file over the top of the png, and then IE has no more problems.

From the Multiple IE Website:

“Ever wanted to test your website in various versions of Internet Explorer?

It is possible to run Internet Explorer in standalone mode without having to over-write previous versions thanks to Joe Maddalone who came up with a way of achieving that in November 2003. Basically, Internet Explorer is run by exploiting a known workaround to DLL hell - which was introduced in Windows 2000 and later versions - called DLL redirection.”

This tool has saved my ass many times over.  There are STILL people who are using deprecated, outdated, and ridiculous versions of “Internet Exploder” out there.  This tool lets you see what your site looks like in each one of them.  For a site that is going to have tons of users from all over the world, or even just the country, with various technological backgrounds, this is a lifesaver.
