Hi all,

Iam new to Ajax . Can anybody tell me what is the maximum lenght of the url in the xmlhttprequest object.

Actually i tried to submit my form asynchronously by the following method.
http_request.onreadystatechange = getReply;
http_request.open('POST', url, true);
http_request.send(null);

but the form is not submitting since the url(String) is exceeding 2082 characters which is the limit of URL in IE(GET method)..

Even though iam using POST method it is not going beyond http_request.open


Now i am doing it normally ... I mean form.submit().Iam getting the reply correctly.

IS there any other way to submit it asynchro..ly

NOTE:Iam using Spring FRAMEWORK

I don't quite understand, you claim to be using the POST method yet you send null instead of your form's data. The query string is limited by most browsers although I don't think it's constant across them all. That's one of the reasons why using POST is better.

Actually i tried the following also ...

http_request.onreadystatechange = getReply;
http_request.open('POST', url+ '?'+submitString , true);
http_request.setRequestHeader("Content-length", submitString.length);
http_request.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
http_request.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
http_request.send(submitString);

But nothing Happened!!!

if send it through the url(submitString)and http.send(null) the problem occurs only if submitstring.length()>2082 ..

please correct me if i did any mistakes
