With the recent MSN Spaces update, They have increased the Character limit to maybe twice than before or nlimted. This tutorial is therefore not useful and has become invalid. Please do NOT carry out the instructions below !

Want to add just a bit more to the Custom HTML module/Sandbox ?

Is the 512 character limit bugging you ? Make it around 600.

This is an attempt to bypass the 512 character limit put by Team MSN on your Custom HTML Module/Sandbox. Please click here before you attempt to carry this out.

• Put in a HTML code in the sandbox. This should not be more than 512 Characters in length.
• Click on the Save Button. If its longer than 512 characters in length it will tell you. If not, the page will refresh and you can then carry on with this tutorial.
• Add more HTML codes into the sandbox and click Save. It will tell you how many Characters are there. Make sure it is not more than 650.
• Copy (Ctrl+c) the Java code below and paste (Ctrl+v) it into your IE address bar [Don't ask me what an address bar is, okay I will tell you as I have already got more than 14 emails asking me what it was. An address bar is the place where you type www.Iamdumb.com]

javascript:var e1=document.getElementById("htmlText");var e2=document.getElementById("moduleName");XMLHttp("FormMethod=post&MethodType=savehtml&moduleName="+SimpleEncode(e2.value)+"&showBorder=false&rawData="+SimpleEncode(e1.innerHTML),"http://spaces.msn.com/members/YourID/PersonalSpace.aspx?_c=CustomHTML&_c02_owner=1");void(location.reload());

• Replace the YourID with your space ID. For Example, d3vmax is my Space ID. so it will be '...members/d3vmax/Perso....'
• Click the GO button or Hit the enter key after having done this.
• Your page will refresh and You will notice that now, there are more than 512 characters in your sandbox.
• Done !

Note :

You may have to try multiple times to get it right.

Sometimes it chooses a random limit by itself. I got cut off at 548 characters and later on at 600 characters.

The type of HTML code put in may also effect your result.

 You can save the Javacode above as a Favorite so you don't have to copy paste it all the time.
