CAUSE
This problem occurs if you use script to set the text of the
TEXTAREA control, and if either of the following conditions is true:
- The text contains only a line feed(" chr(10)" or "\n")
character.
- The text contains a line feed(" chr(10)" or "\n") character
and a carriage return("chr(13)" or "\r") character, in that specific order.
In this situation, Internet Explorer incorrectly processes the
text of the
TEXTAREA control. As a result, the
OnChange event fires, even though the contents of the object have not
changed.
