Question

In migrating from flash forms for CF11 upgrade, I'm getting the following error on a large form submission

"Error validating html input.Invalid HTML input. Error=The input was too large. The specified input was 5,040 bytes and the maximum is 5,000 bytes.

I don't see a setting to change this in the CF admin?  Please advise.

    It may not be the cause but, just for information, there is a setting for form submission in the Coldfusion Administrator. It is in the page, Server Settings => Settings.

    Got the same error in CF11. Seems, query is too big. I'm passing list of IDs to it, which is quite long. How can it be fixed?

    I'm getting this also. Anyone know how to change the limit or of a work around?

    I believe replacing with jquery fixed it.

    Interesting.

    All I'm doing is passing a giant list of emails in form.

    <cfinput type="hidden" name="to" value="#trim(thesepeople)#">
