Re: FLASH: OT Generator ?'s (was: my name ;-)

I'm not sure of the functional question, but think it's close to "What

problems can there be with people submitting over 1K of text?"


If so, then the most frequent problem I see in similar descriptions is

where such large amounts of text are appended to the URL, CGI-style, and

submitted using a GET rather than POST. Browsers definitely differ in the

length of URLs they support, and large amounts of text passed through an

address can definitely act differently in various environments. (To be on

the very safe side, I'd recommend no more than 250 characters or so in an

URL, although some browsers can go much higher than that.)


This may be completely perpendicular to what you're working with there,

though... it's just one common scenario that was triggered when reading the

description of that project.
