hi,

we have some a form post that works fine on Windows, but when I try to do a similar form submit on MAC however, the page does not take more than a certain number of character. This causes us to lose some stuff that we thought we pasted on the page.

Here is the code we are using

<TEXTAREA cols=&quot;59&quot; rows=&quot;20&quot; NAME=&quot;article_body&quot; wrap=&quot;virtual&quot; style=&quot;width:600px;height:400px&quot;></TEXTAREA>

Does anyone know about some such limits on a MAC machine? how do we bypass such a limit.

Thanks in anticipation

I've not heard of limits on the amount of textarea allowed using a Mac. I suppose it would have been brought to my attention because I host an application that uses textareas and people feed thousand+character strings into it.

How many characters, exactly, are you seeing pass through?

What model Mac?

Cheers,

i'm on a mac at this moment (imac) with OS X version 10.2.6
I have also never heard of things like this, but I imagine that the text areas aren't capable of taking on MILLIONS of characters. Maybe run a search on goole?

Later,
