Hi Ion, Sorry for not having explained well. Just tell you that I already do what you say, so I'm sure I'm using the post method, and Tomcat or the navigator has a maximun lenght even for its post URI... Do you know if there is any way of changing the maximum lenght and which is that maximun length for post URI's? What I exactly do is:
<FORM NAME="form1" ACTION="javascript:myFunc()" METHOD="post"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="myQuery" VALUE="myquery"> ... </FORM> and in my javascript file: function myFunc() { myWin = window.open("../servlet/myServlet?query="+document.form1.myQuery.value); } (That is because I want the result page to be a new page, not the same page...) Thanks.
