Mara,

The problem that I originally stated was "is there a memory limit for HTML
pages?" The form buttons did stop working when I added a dropdown menu to
the table (which was part of the form). Why do you say they were not working
Mara? I press the submit button and nothing happens! That to me is not
working. I thought there may have been a memory limit of some sort because
if was definitely related to the size of the table being constructed. If the
server was supposed to return a 414 it did not. I appologise if I anyone was
misslead as to how I stated the problem. I only stated in the best way I
could and what I was seeing.
