"Space" as a special Charecter

catch_debajit · May 10, 2014

I was filling up a form, where when I put my name as XXXXX XXXX it was showing that "Only A-Z are allowed"...that website was considering the "space" as a special character that's only in firefox, chrome, maxthon and some other browsers but not in Internet Explorer. To fill up that form i rushed to an Internet Cafe and guess what i found there, that was happening only in my PCs, both my desktop and Laptop but not in other PCs...I tried everything from uninstalling some keyboard software to changing browsers font setting, encoding setting...But problem still persists...

And if you know there is a browser called Chrome plus where there is a option to change the browser to IE mode or Chrome mode...problem was NOT there in IE mode but in Chrome mode, it was there...Interesting!!!

Can anyone help me with this...Please...

clear your cache first.. then do a hard refresh of the page ctrl + shift + r

Someone clearly didn't test their javascript on multiple browsers...

Submit a bug to the site webmaster.

EDIT: When you say you went to an internet cafe, were they using the same browser as you? Or were they using IE?

What does java have to do with any of this ?

Yoplait95 · May 10, 2014

When you type in a notepad document and you press the spacebar does something else pop up ?

Javascript. Unless you're clicking a submit button for it to go to the server and come back with an error, they're validating with JS.

Someone Somewhere :

It could also be python php etc.. But for javascript to run you dont need to install java.

Python and PHP are both server side processing. Javascript is about the only clientside language that works pretty much everywhere.

If they're doing the validation client-side (which is likely, because the behaviour is differing), then it's got to be JS.

Java and Javascript are completely unrelated.

Yoplait95 :

Someone Somewhere :

Someone Somewhere :

yeah i can understand that...but why not in IE...it was the same webpage that i was browsing...Is that means that for IE based browser and Non IE based the webpages are different...and one thing in the cafe it was an XP pc...but firefox version was same...is that something to do with this problem...

This is weird. I'd say to clear your cache/cookies, but it's happening on multiple browsers...

It's possible they're serving different pages to IE and non-IE, but that shouldn't break Chrome/Firefox on your local PC together.

Someone Somewhere :

yeah...but I don't think that will help me either...coz I installed Windows virtual PC for XP just to see that in xp that problem occurs or not it was also there where i installed firefox... :pfff:
