I have a page that is exhibiting some odd behavior. If I click on EDIT, the code for the page appears, but then if I click on PREVIEW, the preview view is blank as is the code block.
There is a warning at the top of the page that says it is longer than 32k and recommends shortening it because some browsers may have trouble editing it. What is odd is that another page has the same warning, but it displays just fine in both editing and preview modes.
Why do browsers have this limitation? And how do I get around it? I really don't want to shorten the page.
Because they're Netscape 4.x or earlier or any browser for 16-bit Windows or Mac OS 9 or earlier, where the OS's text edit widgets had a 32kb text length limitation due to the 16-bit legacy code.
So... unless you're editing on an ancient ancient browser, that's probably not your actual problem. :)

Hmm. Well, I am using IE6 and also tried Firefox (which had a similar problem).
I tried deleting the page and then creating a new version (although I did use the same name) and even that didn't help. I really don't want to change the page name, so is there anything I can do to get this thing back on track?
