bug report update

[Colin Allen]

Thanks to Ken's suggestion I was able to work around the difference in  
behavior in OW and those other browsers using the code shown below.  This  
script is running at http://grimpeur.tamu.edu/cgi-bin/hiddenfix.cgi

Cheers,

#!perl
use CGI;
$cgi = new CGI;

my $text = $cgi->param('text');
$text =~ s/\r//g; # get rid of unwanted CRs

my $hiddentext = $cgi->param('hiddentext');
$hiddentext =~ s/\r//g; # get rid of unwanted CRs

$cgi->delete_all;

print
    $cgi->header,
    $cgi->start_html;

print "<b>Textarea version:</b><pre>$text</pre>" if $text;

print "<b>Hidden parameter:</b><pre>$hiddentext</pre>" if $hiddentext;

$text = "line 1\nline 2\nline 3\n" unless $text;

print
    $cgi->startform(),
    $cgi->textarea('text',$text,10,50);

$text =~ s/\n/&#13;/g; # this is for OmniWeb's benefit

print
    $cgi->hidden('hiddentext',$text),
    "<br>",
    $cgi->submit(-value=>'Reload'),
    $cgi->endform(),
    $cgi->end_html();
