The UA would set a limit on the value it accepts for maxlength="", and then cap the result at that, preventing someone from entering more than 4GB (or 2GB, or 4TB, or whatever limit the UA has). Does that answer your question? In practice I would expect other limitations to come into play long before a test for this limit could be triggered. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
