Hi Ion,
Sorry for not having explained well. Just tell you that I already do what
you say, so I'm sure I'm using the post method, and Tomcat or the navigator has
a maximun lenght even for its post URI... Do you know if there is any way of
changing the maximum lenght and which is that maximun length for post URI's?
What I exactly do is:
<FORM NAME="form1" ACTION="javascript:myFunc()" METHOD="post">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="myQuery" VALUE="myquery">
...
</FORM>
and in my javascript file:
function myFunc() {
myWin =
window.open("../servlet/myServlet?query="+document.form1.myQuery.value);
}
(That is because I want the result page to be a new page, not the same page...)
Thanks.
Sonia.
