Hola Zopistas, Is there a limit to the size of form variables you can pass to REQUEST? I have a custom zclass (an academic vita) I'd like users to edit without looking at the management screens for its instances. So I set up form/edit methods in the class but then found the following problem: 1. if I populated all the variables of the vita object with the properties management view, all the properties showed up correctly in the non-management-view form. well and good. 2. however, if I then changed anything in that non-management-view form, submitted it, and then directed the browser back to the index_html view of the changed vita object, something choked on the first big textarea variable ("essays"). the resulting index_html truncates the essays field, and no other variables subsequent to essays gets passed to REQUEST and updated. This is driving me batty. Can anyone help? Anthony __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Yahoo! Auctions! http://auctions.yahoo.com
