there is a limit to the length of a GET... i think it's 255 characters
so
if your url is over that it will be truncated. you might want to do a
POST
instead. in that case you won't be able to make a query string in
javascript so you'll have to use forms to submit it. (but you can get
and
set all the properties of html forms with javascript)

what are you trying to do? it looks like you're making the url and then
trying to go to it -- you can do this just by doing
location.href = url;
or just
location = url;
after that the browser will go to that URL.
