Textarea limit puzzling me

I've created a form that has 3 textarea fields on it and have always used Opera and it has always worked fine.

I've now got some clients using IE 6.0 and now the form will not submit.

The forms will only submit if the textareas have less than 1665 characters each.

This is completely stumping me.

Do you mean if the user types more than 1665 characters, IE6 doesn't submit the form?

Or are you using Javascript that validates the box to 1665 characters?

I've found my answer here

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q208427/

It seems IE only supports 2,083 characters using the GET method.

I hadn't specified a form method and so the form defaulted to the GET method.

If I had specified a POST method then the form limit would be 25,000 characters.

Got there in the end, thank you.
