Subject: How many characters will your browser let you enter into the address bar?
Written By: Dude111 on 11/07/18 at 12:57 am
I was just fooling about and wondered if there was a limit to how many characters you could enter in the address bar field...
I tried it in MyIE2 and it let me enter 24,155 characters before beeping I was @ the end!!! (I put the whole string in notepad after and of course you know notepad tells you how many characters there are)
I havent tried it in IE6 yet.....
24,155??? -- Wow no one would EVER use that amount of characters!!
EDIT:
IE6 only lets me enter 2048 characters ;D

I have seen very long URL addresses, but never had the need to count the characters.

I was thinking someone has WAY too much time on their hands.

Me neither. It hasn't mattered to me in the least bit.

Some people may think it is interesting and some people don't. I'm not going to delete this thread because I happen to think the topic is not interesting. If I did that-there would probably be very few threads on this board.

That's right; everyone has their own set of interests. :) That said, some people certainly may find it interesting in one way or another, like you said.

My son wonders if you used a variety of characters? Would it allow more if you only used something small like a lower case i and fewer if you only typed in capital W's?
