Using IE6+, what is the maximum amount of text you can POST with a <textarea> before something breaks?
Edit: The answer I’m hoping for is “there’s no way you could actually type something meaningful and unmallicious into a textarea and crash Internet Explorer.”
Because of the way POST data is sent there’s no low-end limit to the number of characters you can send. There is an upper bound, of course. How much data are you talking about here?
The answer is sneezing will cause IE to collapse, sneezing softly doubly so for IE6
