Yeah... it's weird. So I have these ckeditors and they work real well... but I have some sample text, (bullet lists etc) for the user to paste in. If the word 'from' is in one of the <li> the form will post with an empty $_POST
If i change the pasted text to not have the word 'from' it will post normally. If I type in the word 'from' in one of the <li>, $_POST will be empty.
So, I guess the thing to do is try to console log what is happeneing when i hit submit? Need some trouble shooting ideas, please
Hmm... EDIT: this is not occuring on my local windows dev, only on the lamp live server... I'm pretty sure all the files are the same.

mod_sec
This was caused by mod security in apache. It sees the word 'from' and thinks i'm tryna inject sql. If you have this problem, look in your mod sec logs.
