FP98: Long Thread Titles Have Spaces Added After Removing Post

ID: Q190619

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

If you delete an article from a discussion Web, any threads that have long titles will have three   tags appended to the HTML code for those titles.


CAUSE

FrontPage incorrectly adds the   tags to the Tocproto.htm file in the discussion Web, resulting in extra spaces being added to the titles. This behavior occurs if the number of characters in the Subject field combined with the number of characters in the From field exceed twenty-six characters.


RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, use form field validation to limit the total number of characters in the Subject and From fields to twenty-six or less. For example, limit the Subject field to twenty characters and the From field to six characters.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
