In total, there are 77 entries (I only put 15 here). Is there a > length limit for what I pass to the url?

URL's cant contain spaces, they have to be escaped as %20. Also, the # is a special character in a URL, as it marks an anchor in a page. Lastly, yes, there is a limit to data sent in a URL. It varies slightly from browser to browser, but I would try not to go over a couple of hundred characters. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
