How do I post form data to another page in asp for textarea field which has more than 254 characters?

Is this possible? Most posts seem to suggest that 254 characters is the maximum allowed. Is this to do with the address bar not accepting this number of characters?

I need to be able to copy a chunk of text (say 500 characters) into a textarea field in a form and then submit the form to another page which is then submitted to the database. I was thinking of using session variable? or cookie? but really that doesnt seem the right way.

any ideas?

Should be able to do it with a request.form("TextField")
Should be able to do it, as you do not want to have in a QueryString.

Give me a minute and I will test this theory

Brilliant! worked great. I had the form using method="get" instead of method="post"
It happens to the best of us.
Just remember that when your form is not submitting properly, always check the <form> properties.
As that is going to be about 75% of the cause.

Have a good one.
