field length length bug/exploit

**leki** · 05-31-2007, 06:22 AM

just did a test of really long words in input fields and it completly messing up the whole site.

see example

http://video.bizhat.com/test_da_script/private/

every page with this video on your site was really messed up....so i have moved the video to private so it wont affect anything.

The same can be done to group names etc.

I think we need a word length limit and some way to edit tags.

Yeah, that really screws things up.

Limit the number of characters allowed.

The problem is number of charactors in a word. It is normal a word won't wrap. This is not normal, unless you need to do it that way. When a video is uploaded, site admin need to check for this.

Limiting length is possible, but we have to find what to limit.

is it possible to have the maximum single word length as 20...if it goes more then wrap it or cut off the end?
