http://info.uibk.ac.at/info/kurs/htmlkurs/htmlref/input.html which says 1024 characters. I also saw some links (but the pages were down!) that indicated 4096 characters.
As Chris said GET restrictions tend to range between 255 and 2000 characters in total for the querystring. Generally though hidden fields are used for carrying around small string-based parameters to indicate state etc. Carrying around small chapters of text in hiddens isn't optimal anyways - as it will add to the page weight. That doesn't mean I haven't done it in the past though ;) cheers ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Tifer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ActiveServerPages" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 5:40 AM Subject: Re: Hidden Field : I'm pretty sure there's no standard maximum, and if you're using : POST for your form, you shouldn't have any problems, but if you're : using GET, browsers do limit what can be passed along, but : that's browser-specific. : : Chris Tifer : http://www.emailajoke.com : : : : ----- Original Message ----- : From: "LeGrand Decius" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : To: "ActiveServerPages" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 8:38 AM : Subject: Hidden Field : : : > What is the maximum number of characters than can be stored in a hidden : > field? : > : > : > : > : > --- : > You are currently subscribed to activeserverpages as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : > To unsubscribe send a blank email to : %%email.unsub%% : : : --- : You are currently subscribed to activeserverpages as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% : --- You are currently subscribed to activeserverpages as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
