> I am using XITAMI version 2.4d9 locally on Win98 in combination with the
> Python cgi module and the IE5.
> I display an HTML  page that contains an empty textarea and a submit
> button.
> 
> The problem is: if I submit a text that contains somewhere the character
> '&', it will cut off this character and all text that follows.
> E.g. if I enter "Smith & Sons" into the text area, I receive only "Smith "
> in the cgi form. 
> 
> I don't think that this is a Python problem, because with the Apache
> Server it works fine.
> 
> Any comments will be appreciated
