Re: Large Select Box Selection Error

[Josh Chamas]

What do you mean it craps out?  I have written select boxes in Apache::ASP
that have had 5000+ entries in them, so I know it can do it, but would
like to know what kind of problem you are experiencing in particular.
Also, does the problem manifest cross browser, or is this particular
to IE or Mozilla?

One of my applications has a select box which can get very large, 
however I have found that the Apache::ASP does not handle it 
particularly well.  I have tested it with the following two scripts. The 
asp version craps out at about 165 while the CGI handles at least 1000 
everytime.  I have the file upload max set well beyond 165.

Here are the test scripts.

#!/usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/asp-perl
# first the large select box form
<form name="main" action="env.cgi" method="POST">
 <input type="text" name="sx">
 <select name="test" multiple size="10">
 <%foreach my $i (1..1000) {%>
 <option value="<%=$i%>" SELECTED><%=$i%></option>
 <%}%>
 </select>
 <input type="submit">
</form>
#!/usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/asp-perl
# the asp dump of the values
<%
my $fh = $Request->Form();
my $p=1;
%>
Form Results<br>
-------------------------------------<br>
<%foreach my $key (keys %{$fh}) {%>
 <%=$key . ' = '. $fh->{$key} . '<br>'%>
 <%if ($fh->{$key} =~ 'ARRAY') {
   foreach my $i (@{$fh->{$key}}) {%>
   <%=$p++%>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<%= $i %><br>
   <%} $p=1;%>
 <%}%>
<%}%>
<br>
#!/usr/bin/perl
# the CGI dump of the values
use CGI;
my $cgi = new CGI;

print $cgi->header;
print 'QueryString Results<br>';
my @values = $cgi->param('test');
foreach my $key (@values) {
 print $key . '<br>';
}
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
