Maybe that's not such a good idea. If my monitor was set to 640x480 it
sure would take a long time to scroll through all 30,000 lines of text.
You might want to look into a simple Java applet. What would stop
someone from trying to edit a 10mb file via a TEXTAREA box? Then when
they hit update they have to send that whole 10mb back across the
network again. Perhaps you could display the file contents as a series
of links and whenever someone clicked on a link, let them edit the
immediate 1,000 lines. If a user wanted to edit a 10mb file, all you
would have to do it put 300 TEXTAREA boxes on your page. Or you could
let the user download the document, edit it, then reupload it.
