URL is only 2,048 characters. If you need to transfer more data than that,
you have to use POST.

Subject: _javascript_ submit button vs html submit button
How true is the following statement? :
[quote]
If you use a _javascript_ form submit button, you have to make sure your
form variables dont get too large because the _javascript_ function
passes the input to the action page using the GET method, and the
total length of a URL and all the URL Variables is limited. If you
have a very large amount of form input, you had better use HTML submit
buttons and the POST method
[/quote]
Is this true? Its brought about by an application I'm working on
where we might have a hidden form field with as many as 40,000 userIDs
passed to the action page in a comma delimited list.
