Hi,

I am using ajax to update a form. I call xmlHttp.open("GET", strURL,
false).

The problem is that strURL is a really long string and it seems that
javascript craps out on this long string giving me an unspecified
error. I decided to test my theory and created a generic function to
pass over my url string and sure enough javascript dies with the same
error. I figured one way around it was to split my string into an
array and then join it up again but xmlHttp.open is not a method or
object I wrote, so I cant easily manipulate it.

Any thoughts on a way around this?

Regards,
Jeremiah
