from my own travels, and dealing with microsoft, i have read 2083 chars. 5.5 + now, i (personally) have sent over 950 characters in a cflocation tag...(it was a string of ids, that i wanted to put in a report, each id is 9 chars long....plus some other location stuff and other variables, 900+ is easy to get to in my game :)!)
but, i dont know the total limit. tony -----Original Message----- From: James Sleeman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 6:46 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: cflocation url length > I've noticed that cflocation seems to fail when the url argument is very > long, for example > 850 chars.

The limit varies from browser to browser. The thing to remember is, if your sending data that is potentially large, you need to either store the data in a session variable/database/whatever and pick it out at the other end, or do it in a form post. Using Javascript you can easily make a hidden form on a "Loading..." page submit automatically.... <BODY ONLOAD="document.theForm.submit()"> Loading... <FORM ACTION="blah.cfm"> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="Foo" VALUE="Some long data in here"> </FORM> </BODY> --- James Sleeman Innovative Media Ltd Ph: (03) 377 6262 http://www.websolutions.co.nz CAUTION: The information contained in this email message is confidential and may be legally privileged.
