ok, I have no clue why, but all of the textareas on my site
www.returntothepit.com
don't allow a text size greater than a certain size.
it's really pissing me off to.
does anyone have any ideas?
I know with phpMyAdmin the text areas can hold as much text as I can put in them.

    Ummm, perhaps you should post the code. I can't think of a reason I'd want to slosh around your entire site just to find the textareas you're talking about....I mean, if you'd posted the direct link instead of just the index page.....it's not at the TOC, either methinks.....

    Did you give the areas row= col= dimensions?

      ok, I uploaded a test.
      http://www.returntothepit.com/playtest.php
      fill up the textareas.. or close to fill them up
      just fill them up with:
      dsa
      ds
      af
      sadf
      asdfasdfas
      dfas
      df
      asdfasdfasf
      asd
      fasd
      f
      sadf
      asdf
      asdf

      and then click submit query and it won't go anywhere....
      this issue is rampent in ALL textareas on my site and is really pissing me off.
      thanks

        I have the same problem . It seems a problem with windows xp , infact you should not have the problem with Netscape or other browser but only with IE6

          uhm , no your problem is different of mine .

          Do you have try to relacing <form action="/playtest.php">
          with <form action="playtest.php"> ?

            You can do this by adding this piece of Javascript at your page
            <script language="javascript">
            function textKey(f) {
            supportsKeys = true
            calcCharLeft(f)
            }

            function calcCharLeft(f) {
            clipped = false
            maxLength = 600 <!-- Number of characters allowed -->
            if (f.message.value.length > maxLength) {
            f.message.value = f.message.value.substring(0, maxLength)
            charleft = 0
            clipped = true
            } else {
            charleft = maxLength - f.message.value.length
            }
            return clipped
            }
            </script>

            and then your text area should be like this
            <textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="80" onKeyUp="textKey(this.form);"></textarea>

            This will prevent users from typing more than 600 letters inside a text area
            Also you can use the variable charleft to display the remaining characters by adding the following line before the return clipped line :
            f.name of the field displaying characters left.value = charleft;
            (If you don 't need it then just delete the lines that calculate it)

            Note that the name of the textarea message appears inside the javascipt functions.

            hope this helps😃

              Use method="POST" instead of GET in your form tag. If you don't define method in the form tag GET is assumed. If I recall, there's a limit to how much you can GET, and the buffer for POST is much larger.

                Sorry I though you want to limit the amount.
                Well As far as I can see you submit all the data to a query string. Why??????
                You can use this:
                <form action="

                <?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>

                ">
                Date: <input name=date type=text size=35 value="

                <?php echo $date; ?>

                "><br>
                Time: <input name=time type=text size=35 value="

                <?php echo $time; ?>

                ><br>
                <table ><tr><td>Band</td><td>Song Name</td></tr>

                <tr><td><textarea name=bandlist rows=80 cols=30 wrap=virtual tabindex=5>

                <?php echo nl2br(stripslashes($bandlist)); ?>

                </textarea></td>
                <td><textarea name=songlist rows=80 cols=55 wrap=virtual tabindex=5>

                <?php echo nl2br(stripslashes($songlist)); ?>

                </textarea></td></tr></table>
                <input type=submit name=submit>
                </form>

                Hope this time this will help:p
