Kayak.com is in trouble because they've set a maxlength that is smaller than some of the data the script sets input value to. (I'm sending them some feedback about that). However, the site shows an interesting problem: the UA (testing in Opera 9) does not submit the form because of the validation problem, but the onsubmit event has been called, meaning the site has disabled its submit button. Hence, the user has no way to fix the data and resubmit (even if she actually understands what the error is). Should we really fire onsubmit if the UA prevents submitting the form? Button-disabling-on-submit scripting isn't exactly rare.. -- Hallvord Reiar Michaelsen Steen http://www.hallvord.com/
