Limitations of posting a form

[Christian Neuss]

Hi all,

In reply to my suggestion of using post to get around a bug with
Forms submission, Chris Gregors (<gregors at edo032pc.pipe.nova.ca>) wrote:

Now thats a different story.. It seems that OmniWeb is not capable
of handling a Godzilla sized <TEXTAREA>.. I'm not sure if I would
consider this a bug, it's really quite unusual.

Does the data really have to be in the <TEXTAREA>, and get included
in the POST query, or is this just an example you used for testing?

(Get back to me in personal email if you feel the topic is not of
enough interest to OmniWeb users)

Kind regards,
Chris
