I am building an HTML application where I need my IIS 5.0 to retrieve
unlimited amounts of text via the TEXTAREA form field.  I test by
pasting large amounts of text, but when I click send I witness on the
server side truncated text when IE is the browser.  I have searched
and searched and can't even find definitive information on how
maximums are handled in IE. No "Advance Settings" exist for this
limit.  It is especially disconcerting when Netscape sends all the
data, but Netscape is no longer sanctioned for app building.  I need
to handle at least 10000 bytes of text.  I already know how to use a
Java script to limit the Textarea size.

Hello, marcirvin:
  I have tested what you say, and it works perfectly, at least with
PHP, take a look at this code:

<form action=test2.php method=post>
<textarea name="textarea"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<?php
	$textarea=$_POST['textarea'];
	echo $textarea;
	
?>

I have submitted 11452 bytes of text using the textarea and it works
perfectly, could you tell me which server language are you using to
process the posted data?

Regards.
