Re: error with long form post
Is your form action set to "GET" (or not defined) instead of set to "POST"? If you're getting a "URL too long" error it sounds like your form data/text is being passed in the URL string.

RE: error with long form post
Greg, Can you post the actual error message that you are receiving? Also, what are you doing with the post? Are you placing it into a database? Is that database column setup for text fields of this size? William -- William E. Seiter Have you ever read a book that changed your life?

Re: error with long form post
