Hi folks. I am guessing this is the place to discuss the Prototype AJAX JS library. I am not using Ruby, but nonetheless... Using ajax.updater, I want to submit a form which has 2 items in it. One is a radio button, straight forward. The other is a textarea that could be quite large. I want to park it into the url portion, but that would mean the url could supercede the safe length of a url for submission to my back door file that actually receives the parameters. How does one go about submitting textareas using ajax.updater?

It''s not really an "array of pairs". -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

Just for completeness: Microsoft Internet Explorer has a maximum uniform resource locator (URL) length of 2,083 characters. Internet Explorer also has a maximum path length of 2,048 characters. This limit applies to both POST request and GET request URLs. If you are using the GET method, you are limited to a maximum of 2,048 characters, minus the number of characters in the actual path. However, the POST method is not limited by the size of the URL for submitting name/value pairs. These pairs are transferred in the header and not in the URL.

Hi there. Why would they return it this way? Does JS provide maps at all? Would be easier to manage that way.

Hey, BeeRich a écrit :> Hi there. Why would they return it this way? Does JS provide maps at > all? Would be easier to manage that way.I''m not too sure I get what you mean, "why would they return it this way?". Aside from this, JS objects are a map of sorts (associations of property names with their values, usable with operators like ''.'' and ''[]'', modifiable at will, and iterable through the for/in construct), and Prototype takes this one step farther with the Hash object and the $H function. -- Christophe Porteneuve aka TDD tdd-x+CfDp/qHev2eFz/2MeuCQ@public.gmane.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

I guess I''m just used to a smilar structure of a larger map:
var(''thing'' = map(
''firstname'' = ''Fred'',
''lastname'' = ''Flintstone'',
''colour'' = ''red'',
''friend'' = ''Barney''));
Cheers
