    HTML form with fields & values: issue when copying into Microsoft Word


    I have an issue when I copy a HTML form from the Web and paste it into Microsoft Word. When I try to paste it, the form fields don't appear in Word, neither the fields, nor the values. The field appears like a box with a red "x" inside.In other PCs, I don´t have this problem. I copy and paste HTML forms from the Web into a Word document. When I save those "correct" documents and open them in the first PC, the one with the issue, they can be opened without any trouble. But if I paste the form directly in MS Word, the issue appears.Any idea ... thank you!!!

    :)

    HTML Forms

    When the form posts, after the script on the server side inserts to database, instead of doing simple redirect, script can generate your printable html page with content (including fields and their initial values) based on input posted by the form ... you can mix html markup with script code so you won't need to generate all of html

    edit: what you are trying, redirecting using GET with all parameters (laptop number etc.), should also work

    HTML input field rendering error

    There is a serious browser bug that exists on Nokia phones - at least the 2610 and the 1680c. It prevents you from viewing and submitting an HTML form correctly.

    PHP code is provided below to perform your own test.

    BUG DESCRIPTION:

    1. Fetch URL (GET) containing a simple HTML form, with an text element. The text field is empty.

    2. Type text into the input field

    3. Press 'Send' – this sends a POST message to the server.

    4. The resultant page shows the typed text in the field. This is because the server application copies the POSTed parameter into the input field.

    5. As in step 1, re-load the URL using GET (for example, use Go to Address / History and select the original URL)

    6. The resultant page, from the result of the GET request, shows the last POSTed data instead of a blank field. THIS IS AN ERROR. If the form contains text in the input field, it is also ignored, and the last POSTed data is also shown.

    Step 6 is the problem. This bug exists on Nokia 1680c (V 05.61, code 0560295) and Nokia 2610 (V 06.73, code 0540015). On all normal desktop browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome), it works correctly.

    PHP test code

    -------------

    <?php

    $n = htmlentities($_POST['n']);

    $h = "<html>

    <head>

    <title>Test browser bug on Nokia 1680c and Nokia 2610</title>

    </head>

    <body>

    <form action='noktest.php' method='post' name='tf'>

    <input type='text' name='n' value='$n' />

    <input type='submit' value='Send' />

    </form>

    </body>

    </html>";

    header("Cache-Control: no-cache") ;

    header("Cache-Control: max-age=0") ;

    header("Expires: 0") ;

    header("Pragma: no-cache") ;

    echo $h;

    ?>

    You may omit the header() lines and try different DOCTYPEs, but the result is the same.

    I have written a letter to Nokia drawing their attention to this crippling bug.

    The bug means that I cannot use Nokia phones for my web-based business. I'm sure that I'm not the only one.
