Re: [Phpwiki-talk] limits of the textarea

Do you mean size on your screen or do you mean a limit on how much 
text you can put in a textarea?

The size on screen is set by the rows= and cols= attributes in the
textarea tag.   If you want to change these in phpwiki 1.2.0, you
need to edit templates/editpage.html.  If the development branch,
individual users can set the size of the textarea by visiting
the UserPreferences page.

There is a limit to how much text you can type into a textarea.
I know I read about this on some other wiki (Meatball?) but can't
find the reference right now.  I believe the limit is due to a
limit imposed on the total (encoded) size of form post data
by several well known browsers.  I cannot remember what the limit
was reported to be, but 32K sticks in my head for some reason.


( If this turns out to be a real problem, it might be possible to get
  around this limitation by using enctype=multipart/form-data instead
  of enctype=application/x-www-form-urlencoded. )
