Use two textareas. It works fine, so it is merely a limit in Netscape's
implementation of TEXTAREA. I encountered this in NS3.* and NS4.* and
had to use two textareas and MAXLENGTH=3D30000 as a workaround. It is not
a limitation in POST itself, nor is it specified in HTML.
Incidentally, the www-talk list isn't for problems with specific
implementations of HTML browsers, but rather for discussions of HTML=20
itself. For helpful resources which are intended to do so, see the
