Max number of charactrers in a txtbox

[Arc]

Hi. I am trying to put like 2,500 or more email addresses in a txtbox and it appears that about 500 of them are spilling out of the text box and onto the page and therefore stretching out my table and causing all sorts of problems.

This doesnt happen with smaller amounts like a few hundred email addresses, so i assume its becasue the textbox cant hold any more becasue of memory issues or whatever.

Is there a work around for this?

Thnaks!

why store them in a text box? why not use a file and do a file access?

Actually its in <input type="hidden"> sorta thing. I am pulling all these email addresses from a database and storing them in a hidden txt box and then using some javascript that allows the user to copy the string of addresses to the clipboard.

I found the problem. THere was a ">" in one of the email addresses that was messing with the HTML..Doh!:eek:
