GET or POST method??

I wonder when we should use GET method, when we should use POST method? GET
method only sends limited amount of data, and it will show the data as part
of URL. POST method won't show the data as part of URL, and can send any
amount of data. This is what I know so far.

Please advice. Thanks!

About the only time I use a querystring is when I have a lot of records
on one page and each one has a link to more details about that record.
