Issue
When I try to set the value of a textarea with a large text (for example a string length of 600000), the browser (Firefox 3.5.3) freezes.
The text is in 1 line so text wrapping needs to happen by the textarea itself. I think this causes the problem.
Does anyone know a fix for this problem?
Solution
The maximum size for a textarea
in Firefox is 64K (it could be just 32K, I can't recall). 600,000 characters is larger than that. If the size of the text that you're pasting into the textarea
does in fact exceed that size, then there's nothing you can do about it.
Of course, one alternative would be to put some type of restriction on the data going into the field and then give the user some feedback as to why their data won't fit.
Update 2022: Textarea has no limits: mdn textarea
If this value isn't specified, the user can enter an unlimited number of characters.
