title: how many characters are possible in an input field in html?
body: <p>What is the "natural" number of allowed characters in an input field in html?</p>
  
  <p>thanks a lot</p>
  
  <p><strong>addition due to the comments</strong></p>
  
  <p>i don't need to send it to the server via post or get. 
  i am going to parse the string via JS.</p>
  
  <p>So if the input is unlimited like @sAc says brings me to two further questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>What is the longest String JS can
  handle?</li>
  <li>what is the lowest amount of allowed
  characters for an input in common
  browsers?(which would be my limit
  than)</li>
  </ol>
