iFrame with a long url

[chico]

Hello,
I hope you can help me on this one.

I would like to have an iFrame pointing to dynamic url that gets
parameters, for example:
iframe .... src="blabla?myparm1=par1&myparam2=par2.... ,

The problem with this method, is that when the src url is too long
(over 2400 characters) then the IE will not read it correctly.

Is there any way to pass these parameters to the target not by the
url ?
maybe in a similar way to a form submission - by post parameters?

Thanks.

<form name="MyForm" method="post" target="theIFrame"
action="whatever">
<input type="hidden" blah blah your parameters to Post>
</form>

<iframe id="theIFrame" src="blank.html" width etc ></iframe>

Thus the submission of MyForm is a POST with the result sent to
theIFrame.

If you're going to use SSL, be sure the iframe src points to a blank
page from the same server, otherwise you can get warnings about mixing
secure and insecure pages.

Actually, probably has to be... name="theIFrame" instead of id, but
not sure right now. Too tired ;-)

That works perfectly!
