[Javascript] Maximun length of an id

[John Pillion]

auto generating the form ID's is a way of keeping people from hooking 
into the form for either spamming, hacking, etc.  If the form ID's/names 
are randomly generated each time the page loads, it helps deter anyone 
from automating any script for the form.  It's a technique commonly used 
in bank applications etc.
