One of our programmers has tracked down the cause of this problem, but we are
not sure of the best way to solve it.  Briefly, it happens when a title is over
100 characters in length, and the culprit is the javascript that's controlling
the text input block.  Here's our programmer's report:

Here's a snippet of the HTML from a record that throws the 245 error...

<textarea cols="70"
          rows="4" 
          id="tag_245_subfield_a_834735_210982"
          name="tag_245_subfield_a_834735_210982" 
          class="input_marceditor"
          tabindex="1"
          >Orders regarding the death of George Washington and the military's
funeral arrangements for their &quot;Patron and Father.&quot;</textarea>

versus a good one...


<input type="text"
       id="tag_245_subfield_a_735043_272907"
       name="tag_245_subfield_a_735043_272907"
       value="Pain is inevitable but misery is optional so, stick a geranium in
your hat and be happy! /"
       tabindex="1"
       size="67"
       maxlength="9999"
       class="input_marceditor"
/>

The issue is the javascript (js) that checks for mandatory fields does not
recognize the textarea.

The textarea piece comes from addbiblio.pl ($subfield_data{marc_value}), and it
creates it when a title is longer than 100 characters.

A quick work around is to increment this value, but the ultimate solution would
be to have the js recognize that there's something in the textarea input field.

Any ideas?
