Chars in hyperlink

[raghu]

Hi,

I have a hyperlink with 4000 chars in the Url.
This Link becomes unclickable in IE.
I seems that it accepts only 2100 chars in the URL.
i.e 2KB i guess.


Any Pointers could be of great help.

for example


Here is the sample code

<a href="http://localhost/test.asp?9023490902349090234909023490902349090234909023490902349090234909023490902349090234909023490 9023490902349090234909023490902349090234909023490902349090234909023490902349090234909023490902349090 234909023490902349090234909023490902349090234909023490902349090234909023490902349090234909023490aaaa adssdfsddsssdsdjkasdfhjkdfhsajkhsdfajkhsdfakjhsdfakjhsdfajkhdsfkajhdfasjkhasdfjkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk3423434221 33423412423343434123441231abc123fsdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak33489342349082349082342349203890348092 34023494523349453d2348923423489023490234d45980523489023490834945904845958048904523909234980234980ier kldfl;flsdfkdfl;ksfl94dfgdddgfhgfghfgfghfggfgf4ains%3ED43%2E00%29%29%3Cand%3E%28%3Cfilter%3E%28conte nt%5Ftype%3Cmatches%3Emanuals%29%29%29%3Cor%3E%28%3Cfilter%3E%28supported%5Frelease%3Ccontains%3ED31 %2E02%29%3Cor%3E%3Cfilter%3E%28supported%5Frelease%3Ccontains%3ED38%2E03%29%3Cor%3E%3Cfilter%3E%28su pported%5Frelease%3Ccontains%3ED39%2E01%29%3Cor%3E%3Cfilter%3E%28supported%5Frelease%3Ccontains%3ED3 5%2E02%29%3Cor%3E%3Cfilter%3E%28supported%5Frelease%3Ccontains%3ED33%2E00%29%3Cor%3E%3Cfilter%3E%28s upported%5Frelease%3Ccontains%3ED33%2E01%29%3Cor%3E%3Cfilter%3E%28supported%5Frelease%3Ccontains%3ED 33%2E02%29%3Cor%3E%3Cfilter%3E%28supported%5Frelease%3Ccontains%3ED34%2E00%29%29%29%29%29&QueryText=%2A&Collection=vc9000&SortField=score&SortField=full%5Ftitle&SortOrder=desc&SortOrder=asc&ScoreThreshold=10&ViewTemplate=ntlview%2Ehts&ResultStart=11&ResultCount=10dsfasdfsdfsdfaasdfasdfsdfasdfddfasasdf">mypage</a>

Ya, make the link shorter. :D


(Sorry, couldn't resist. But man, that is a monster link. :eek: )

I need a Hyperlink clickable in IE with 4000+ chars clickable.
So i have added such a huge hyperlink.

[Vladdy]

No you do not need a hyperlink with 4000+ characters. Use form with post method to send large quantities of information to another page.

[raghu]

Vladdy,

I am forced to send such a huge request through get method
only.

Any pointers on this.

[Vladdy]

What "forces" you :confused: There is no reason why you can not modify whatever you are working on to use form with the post method.

[raghu]

Actually whatever i get in the url is from a search engine
and i am trying to simulate a paging scenario for the search results so that none of the parameters i get from search engine are lost.

So basically i use search engine's paging properties.
for example
<a href=$$nextpage>Next</a>

that is the reason.
