RE: [cobalt-users] max character length - cgi-scripts

["mjr" <mjr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried the WRAP controls each way and the problem doesn't go away......I
even tried the same form setup on another server (raq3) and it works
fine...I've done many forms and they have all worked...The raq 4 that has
this weird problem is new and this is the first form I'm using on the
server. There must be a place to increase the max characters sent...anybody
know where or what's going on here?????
Thanks

WRAP controls word wrapping in the Textarea box. Wrap is supported only by
NetscapeR (NS) and Internet ExplorerR (IE) and their implementations use
different names. 
off(NS, IE) turns off text wrapping -- text scrolls until the Enter key is
pressed. (default NS). 
soft(NS)/virtual(IE) causes text to wrap at the edge of the Textarea box but
does not include these wraps as carriage returns when the data is sent to
the server. (default IE) 
hard(NS)/physical(IE) causes text to wrap at the edge of the Textarea box
and includes these wraps as carriage returns when the data is sent to the
server.
