What is the maximum field length that can be returned.

[ggallen]

I have a javascript routine that builds a string, then
submits the form.

When my .cgi read the data, it was broken with a "!" (not
sure at what point).

When I made my string shorter, the ! went away.

So...What is the maximum length where your data will have
a ! put in?

I know smtp (sendmail in particular), will breakup a line with
a ! when it reaches 1024 without a cr or lf.

Is this my browser inserting the !, or is my webserver (apache)?

Thanks
George

I don't know the answer to that question exactly, but are you just transmitting a string, or is that string being held inside an <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" .../> or inside a <TEXTAREA></TEXTAREA>?

Inside a textarea I believe you can have as much stuff as you want, but then again there must be a limit?
