problem with textareas too long

graziano

I created a simple web form with a text area

========================

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="check.php">
<TEXTAREA ROWS="2" NAME="S1" COLS="20"></TEXTAREA><INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="submit" NAME="B1">
</FORM>

========================

If I insert a long text on the textarea (for example 2 pages of text) when I click on the button I receive this error (instead to load check.php .

res://C:\WINDOWS\System32\shdoclc.dll/dnserror.htm#http://www.mydomain.com/check.php

If I insert less of 500 carachters (for example) it works fine ,
the webform load correctly check.php 😕

Which could be the problem ?
Thank you

It seems a browser problem , infact on Netscape 7 I don't receive that error with large messages 😕

Anyone can explain how to avoid that error on IE6 on WinXP ?

It sound like the message is getting posted with GET and not POST. I see you have specified POST so..hmmmm, is the message apearing in the URL string in IE6 ?
I am using IE6 and can post many pages fine, btw.
have you got more script there for us to see ?

I am searching on google and It seems a problem with
res://c:\Windows\System32\SHDOCLC.DLL
, however I am still searching to understand how to fix it .

Did you try the html above using IE6 and entering a long text inside ?

(on check.php it's enough a exit(); line) .

yes, it works fine with my IE6 (on NT4 Server).
I think your right, it sounds like some windows/IE component error.

here is what I tested and it worked fine:

if(isset($B1)) {
	echo "$S1";
} else {?>
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="check.php">
<TEXTAREA ROWS="2" NAME="S1" COLS="20"></TEXTAREA>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="submit" NAME="B1">
</FORM>
