Character limits in a textarea

[vdpcorp]

Is there a limit to the number of characters IE will accept in a textarea field? I think the a URL has around an 8200 character limit. I have a form with a textarea and when a user enters a lot of text and hits submit the browser becomes unresponsive. Any thoughts?

There shouldn't be a limit if the form method is "post".

there is no limit in html. You will have to use server side scripting (reccomended) or javascript to catch the user when they click submit if their post is too long, sort of like on these forums.
