Possibly related to bug 58616. Attachment testcase is coming. Click the "Hide textarea" button to hide it, then submit. It submits to itself, doing a GET, so the textarea's value should be displayed on the querystring. The problem is that if it is hidden, it does not get submitted. I have looked in the HTML and DOM standards for anything saying whether this should be submitted or not, and cannot find anything relating the two. Personally I believe if the textarea is not "disabled" then it should be submitted. My specific situation, FYI, if anyone cares :-), is that I have implemented a tabbed deck that hides all textareas except the one you are editing (the tab you have clicked). Neither of these bugs are helping my situation! :-) Another question: if bugs like these are fixed, will they also be included in the Netscape 6.0 release? I read the page that talked about how they'll split and including trunk fixes, but it was awful confusing! Thanks for any help...
The first testcase hides the containing DIV...I will attach another that hides the textarea directly. Same difference.
This is a duplicate. The chances of this making RTM, given that there is no existing fix yet are zero. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 57269 ***
