What is a capacity (maximum length) for <textarea>? I'm facing a problem when I fill the <textarea> with large amount of data and then trying to hit the submit button, the form is not submitting. Then when I put a few words in the <textarea> it's submitted perfectly.
How to overcome it?
thanks

hmm. odd. if the values you are submitting are going to a database, it could be a simple database flaw. The <textarea> doesn't really have limitations.

if it is a database problem (and if you are using MySQL) change that field in question to a TEXT and not a VARCHARS. It won't be limited too.

Hope this helps! :-D

If there is too much data, maybe you're not giving it enough time to submit. Think of all that data being posted to your site -- it might even timeout

I'm having the same problem. If you enter quite a bit of data, the form will not submit, even if you wait. This has nothing to do with a database because it hasn't even been sent to the database for it to have an issue. It just sits there. There really isn't that much data. Maybe 20 to 30 lines, that's it.

Any ideas?

Well are you using IE?

If you do want to limit it I have a nice code that will tell people how much they can put it.

It is on my site at http://www.prankified.com/other2.php...3&subcategory=

It is on the bottom where you can submit comments.

If you are interested in it let me know

I've only tested it using IE. And it's not that I do want to limit it, I would like the user to be able to put as much info as possible into the field. It's for an email system and it frustrates myself when I can't email my members because i'm limited to what I can input.

Some sample code would help. How about showing us the form.

Are you doing a post or a get?

If your using a get, that could be the problem. Browsers can only handle a certain number of characters in the address bar (so to speak). If your not using "method='post'" - I suggest you sort that out first. Otherwise, I can't think of a reason why it won't work. What browser are you using?
