And unfortunately they vary from browser to browser.Each browser has a hard limit to the number of characters that can be sent via a form via GET or POST. A form sent via GET has a very small limit of approximately 256-1024 characters.I don't have hard numbers on a form used with a POST but I've encountered the limit before. Your form ends up getting truncated at the limit.But if you aren't populating the database via a browser then there should be no limit.Hope that helps,-- Sam LewisSamLewis.comTel: 626-852-0956 Fax: 916-404-5698-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
