In my more current test, I had one test that exceeded 5000 characters, but most were in the 2000 character range. So what it boils down to is, you can send a respectable number of characters via a GET, but if it's going to be in the 1K range, it's best to test (it's best to test anyway). Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.comIncidentally, I did some minor testing on this a few years ago and found the lengths vary greatly between servers..... and browsers. If I remember correctly, on Winblows alone,Opera is capable of somewhere in the 4,500 character range, while Internet Exploder is only capable of 2048+slack (2083 bytes). And pre-1.0 HTTP days, it was common for many servers not to accept more than 255 characters on GET.
