Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: when a <formtemplate> form is rendered, all blank elements on any form get a default value other than blank

Yeah, I'll just start over.

so I first noticed this when I logged in one time, I must have gotten rid of cookies and so it didn't remember my email, so it should have been blank, but it had a char in it.

Then, I tried to reg a new user and the form had the same char on every blank form element, and it put that char in for the username in the db, as it was a hidden form element... when I submitted that, all the form elements which were blank had this same one-char default value, each of which may have gone into the db..., so, weirder and weirder...

I think I'll do the github fork thing and maybe check out 5.8
