Cut and Paste Problems

I'm having a few problems with users cutting and pasting error messages into a textbox in a form and not having the entire content of the textbox submitted to the database. They are not receiving any type of error when they submit, but it just cuts off the text just before the paste occurs. Has anyone else had this type of problem?

How long is the text? I think there is some http limit on post variable size on some servers.

It could also be that there is a maximum character limit specified for the textbox in the form, and the users are sometimes exceeding that limit. Check the source code to see if a maximum character length is set. It will look something like this:

probably the message is more than one line. text box won't handle more than
one line. instead use something known as textarea:

you can set its rows and cols attributes to define its dimensions:
