Trouble submitting form data; possibly length issue?

I have a form with a lot of fields. When user enters values and clicks
submit, the form submits back to itself to validate. If the required
fields are filled, it gives them a confirmation screen and they click
another Submit button to do the final step, which logs the values to a
file and sends email to people.

But I've been having trouble with some users who are entering long
values in a textarea. When the text is long, say over 1,000 characters,
the browser (MSIE) doesn't do anything when users click Submit. If I
remove some of the lines of text, it does submit.

Does this sound like a browser problem rather than an embperl problem?
I'm not aware of the character length limitations of form textareas.
There isn't any length limitation when passing this data in forms to
embperl, right?

Thanks for any suggestions on where to look.

Disregard my message. We figured out that the form wasn't submitting
because I was using the GET rather than POST method.
