Paul,

I just thought of another appearent problem with the upgraded TEXTAREA. What if the user wants to send multiple 100MB binary image files? How would the user put 10 or 20 of them into an upgraded TEXTAREA? Does the server have to decide for the user exactly how many files the user can send to the server?
