Try IE tools-internet options - advanced. Make sure the two "show
friendly.." options for browsing are NOT checked.

HTH.

Hello,
I have a strange problem with ColdFusion.

I have a Textarea within I fill a text (about 1100 characters). Then I push
the submit button.
Everything work good.
But, If I add the character '<' or '>' or '&' (I haven't test with all
specials characters) at the end of the textarea, when I submit the form I
receive (after a long time) the message "The page cannot be displayed".

Why?
I'am working with a proxy. Is it possible that the proxy stop the page?

Thanks in advance.

I am unable to reproduce the problem. Did you get an error number on that page? Like a 404 or 405 error?

First, thanks to answer.

In fact I have no error message. Juste a blank page after a while and after a
message saying "the page cannot be displayed".
But sometimes it's work fine! That's depend of the text I put in the
"textarea".
I try to use FuseBox3 (But I don't think the problem com from there).
Strange isn't it. I think the problem must come from the server or something
like that but not from the coldfusion code.

Hello,

I have a TEXTAREA in a cfm page.
I don't have a "maxLength" attribute in it.
When I enter a very long string I often receive the message : The page cannot
be displayed
Why? Any idea?

PS : I am working with Coldfusion 6.1.0.83762

If you are using Internet Explorer try turning off the "Show Friendly HTTP
Error Messages" options so you can see the real error message. Does your form
use the POST or GET method? If it uses GET it is possible the header length is
too long and you need to use POST. That's just a guess though without seeing
some code.

My "Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages" option is turning off and I use a POST method.
This problem drive me crazy!!!

Thanks anyway for the answer.

What version of Internet Explorer are you using? At approx what number of characters does the error occur? Does the error occur with other browsers?

I think this is the problem regarding the database table column length. If you
are trying to save the textarea data into database then it is possible that
your textarea data length is greater than the length defined for column in the
table. Please check this.

Hi
I am having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution to this?
In my case the problem is with dash characters, if I remove/re-type some of the dash (-) charaters the form will submit. If the dashes remain the form will not submit, the brower thinks for a while and then finally displays the 'page cannot be displayed' message. Even with friendly HTTP messages turned off I am not shown any error codes. My site is using CF9 and IIS7. My form is using POST. I have use HTTP Header plugins for the browser and the browser never reaches the submit page, it gets stuck in between.
This has stumped me for a few days now. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
