Issues with IE and too many checkboxes

[mxtaylor]

I'm having a problem with IE 6.0 and using post.
I have a screen with ton of checkboxes and hidden variables
and when I click submit I get an error 'Page cannot be displayed'.
This error only occurs after I've selected so many checkboxes. I'm run
other screens with less hidden data and fewer checkboxes overall and it
works.
I've tested this in Netscape, FireFox with no problems but IE 6.0
displays page cannot be displayed. I've noticed this error caused by
using GET but I'm using POST.

Any ideas,

Martin

Seems like a server-side script problem -- you'd need to ask in the
relevant ASP/JSP/PHP/... group and show them a minimum test case with
your source code. I guess.

Using Perl and I check the post_max setting in CGI.pm and they seem to
be fine. I believe this is client side since its only happening in IE.
