Passing an Array Limitation

[carlosrapa]

I have come into a problem... I am passing an Array with GetURL to a database(lotusNotes) with JavaScript... It works when the Array is small (90 values) ... however it does not work when the array is larger (180 values).... basically when the array is passed it converts to a string... is there an IE limitation???? just curious... any suggestions???

Thanks,
Carlos

url strings do have a char limit- something a little over 1000...

Except IE6, i guess it's the same (if not, then higher) as their max bookmarklet char support:

IE > 5: 2083 (508 in IE 6.0)
Mozilla > 1.3: >20000
Netscape 4.75: 1848
Opera 7.x: 4094


if you use the POST method of getURL this get arround the problem as it is passed like a form variable

How could I use the POST method???? What is the syntax???

right now this is what I am doing....

getURL("javascript:{var mtype='" add mtype add "';var xboxes='" add xboxes add "';var yboxes='" add yboxes add "';var Boxes='" add box_values add "';var Confirmation=" add Confirmation add "; boxupdate(mtype, xboxes, yboxes, Boxes, Confirmation)}");


how can I change this??? to POST method???

Thanks,
Carlos
