Java text area is not published

The textarea value I am trying to send is about 400 characters and the value the servlet receives is null. When I limit this to less than 75 characters, the servlet gets the correct value. Has anyone seen this before?

JSP

<form action="/admin/homepageupdates">
   <div class="body">
      <textarea name="txtcontent" rows="7" cols="105"><%=hp.getBodyText()%></textarea>
   </div>
   <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Update" />
</form>

servlets

String textbody = (String)request.getParameter("txtcontent");

You should use the method POST

for any large amount of data ( <form ... method="POST">

). The method GET

can only transfer a few bytes depending on how much the browser and web server resolve the URL.
