Yeah, I try my best to stay away from URL passing as much as humanly
possible... more on a usability level than anything. As Dave mentioned,
emailing is more problematic (long emails tend to get broken into
multiple lines by the email app), it's also much more ugly to the
user... plus, it's easier for them to screw things up by accidentally
deleting a bit of the URL string and thus breaking the page.

I believe the limitation is more related to browsers rather than what
the server can handle. For instance this article (

handle more than 2,083 characters (ver 5.5).
I would say another reason in my book to avoid super long urls is that
it may inhibit the end user's ability to do things with the URL, such
as email it.

I'm passing form data in the URL, seemed to be easy enough in CF, but
what is my limits? If the text box is 255 characters, the URL won't
trim it or blow it up?
Thanks,
