Hi Janaki, There is theoretically no limit. The HTTP spec doesn't specify, so it will vary from server to server (possibly browser to browser as well). Well, I *think* there was a 2048 character limit on some browser. Could've been lifted by now, but if it's more then 2048 characters you're better off with cookies or POSTing the data anyway.
