Chris,
When you submit via GET, all the info shows up in the URL, so people can tamper with it however they like. Also, people can bookmark it as well.
With POST, everything stays hidden, mostly untamperable, and unbookmarkable. POST might sound clearly better, but unless it's important that people don't change anything, then go with GET.

My Peeps, I only know of one reason to submit a form as POST and that is because you can submit more data in one shot. What other reasons are there? Chris.-- Mike Shanley ~you are almost there~ "A new eye opens on March 5." -Omniversalism.com
