Does anyone know if there is a max length in charcters that a URL string can
be? Also do different browsers(Netscape, IE) have different max lengths?

Thanks,

Think the max length for a GET request (querything goes in as a Get request) is 255 character or close

Unfortunately, there's no specified maximum URL length. That means once you
exceed a certain threshold (1024 chars is a good rule of thumb) you're
running the risk that some component (web server, proxy, browser) truncates
the URL.

Cheers,
