As of this posting, the input tag for the "text" that you can reply with is as follows:
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="replytotext" SIZE=60 MAXSIZE="255">
That should, amongst other things, be
MAXLENGTH and not
MAXSIZE. There's nothing to prevent someone from entering more than 255 characters and having a reply truncated (as I have learned the hard way).
Is MAXSIZE a browser specific attribute that I don't know about?
Cheers,
