I have some forms that post to a CGI script. I set them up and they work perfectly on all browsers. Then I leave them alone.

A few days later, after designers have updated the page, the forms no longer work and a mysterious

enctype=”text/plain”

has been added to the form tag.

I didn’t put it there, and the designers didn’t put it there ( intentionally ). There is no source control, and I don’t use Dreamweaver. I can’t explain where it came from.

Does Dreamweaver add this attribute automatically?

    The answer to my question is "no".

    It turns out that it was not Dreamweaver after all. Someone had created a template where enctype="text/plain" and was reusing it.

    Dreamweaver CS3 only gives these 2 choices for enctype:

    application/x-www-form-urlencoded

    multipart/form-data.

    Human error not software error ( this time ).
