Does IE (6.0 for this test) have a limit it will allow for a form to use in an multi select.
This works in Mozilla :
I have an array I am capturing via PHP.
the script builds dynamic sql.
Based on some ids selected from a multi select box.
out of a list of 162 the form will no longer submit once I select 96 items. I can select 95 but not 96.
Sound familar to anyone?
I think that a slightly more pertinent question here is does the user have a limit?
I would say yes. I think that quite often multiple select lists are used quite badly, in that they are used to allow people to choose too many items from an option list too large.
I would suggest that you use a table with checkboxes, but also try to group your items together, so that a user can select a whole group by checking one checkbox.
I find that it's always important to really think about hte mechanism that you are going to use to allow your users to choose or pick things - especially if the list is going to be quite long.
HTH
The reason is IE and the GET method do not work with large array of data.
Post worked fine.
The ability of an engineer to develop a feature is one thing, however if that feature is no good to the user then the effort was a waste of time...
Just my humble opinion!
This is part of an App that is an internal Admin tool.
So the target audience is very controlled and aware.
