Troubles with ebay...

Hi,

I've noticed that galeon has problems with handling input from forms.  
I'm not sure whether that's a bug in galeon or just a question of bad  
design on account of the webmaster.

When I  want to place an offer, I get into an endless vicious circle: -  
- send the offer
- confirm
- error message telling me to provide a valid offer

It's not that I'm too stupid to fill in a proper value. :-) I've tried  
anything: values with decimal comma (I'm in Germany...), decimal point,  
and integers. The mysterious thing is, occasionally I get the bid  
through, but sometimes I'm just stuck in this circle. Perhaps it has to  
do with the encoding of the page? I guess the comma in the URL might be  
the cause of the problems.  I remember similar problems with a pull- 
down menu where one item contained an a-umlaut. Strangely enough, I  
just tried that one again and it worked...

I finally switched to Mozilla to place my offer, which worked like a  
charm. That's the reason I think there might be something in Galeon  
causing this problem.

Best regards,

Andreas
