Posting Acceptor Fails When Reading Incomplete Test Field

• Microsoft Site Server version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

Any text field passed through Posting Acceptor that contains multiple carriage returns (/r/n) loses the data after the first carriage return.

CAUSE

The Posting Acceptor uses /r/n as a field delimiter.

WORKAROUND

Client side scripting can be used to replace /r/n with the line break tag (<BR>) as follows:

document.INPUTFORM.DESCRIPTION.Value = Replace(document.INPUTFORM.DESCRIPTION.Value,vbCrLf,"<BR>") 

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Site Server 3.0.
