contents$() of textarea not working

[Psycho]

beta2

When requesting contents of a textarea I am getting "Unrecognized command for HTTP Request: contents$()"

Am I missing something with the new #request object command or is this a bug?

my code is simply "request$=#request contents$()" where a textarea named #request has been populated by the user.

This worked fine in the first release and beta1

If you look in the release notes you'll see that there is a new global object called #request which has an instance of HTTP Request. If you reuse this object variable it will get overwritten.

Perhaps I should change the name to something else, or maybe we need a compiler warning.

Carl,

Call it a mix of mis-interpretation of the release notes by me along with dumb luck that I already had a program using that exact same handle. That being said, the program I was using it in is in its infancy so I've already changed it to make the program work. It seems like a logical name so I won't suggest you change it on your end. Perhaps a compiler warning
