[Phplib-users] New IE anomaly(?)

[Mike G. <mik...@sa...>]

Hi!

I have a site which I set up over four years ago using PHPLib's Object Oriented Forms (OOForms). I have updated the PHPLib files which this site uses since then, but I haven't changed the code which uses the OOForms, including the regexes they use. Perhaps should have, but have not.

Many, many folk have used the forms on this site for subscriptions during the time they have been in place. Yesterday, however, a user returned to renew his subscription and received an error message from OOForms saying that he had entered an invalid email address. It is, however, the same email address he used when he subscribed a year earlier, saved in our database and placed in the form for him to confirm. It was accepted by OOForms and the regex it uses when he originally subscribed. And when I tested today, with my browser (Opera) and OS (Linux), OOForms had no objections to his email address.

It would seem, therefore, that the problem could be with some way that the browser he is now using handles the data in the form. He reports that he is using MS Internet Explorer v.6.0.2800 on MS XP Professional. Are any of you aware of something new in an IE "fix" which could cause such a result?

TIA!

Cheers!
