Max. number of inputs in a form?

[Alejandro Garza Gonzalez]

I think the limit is not really a "number" of inputs, as much as the 
total quantity of information you can send in a form... and the again, 
only when you use the ACTION=GET method-- there the limit is 4kB of text.

The text is the whole URL generated by the form...

   
   http://www.wherever.edu/cgi/action.cgi?check1=checked... 
   &check13=checked&check14=checked... etc


When you use ACTION=POST I think there's no real limit, because the 
information isn't sent as an URL, but as a text file. (one long line with 
the URL-encoded form information)
