ajax.response max size

[trpost]

I am using ajax / php where I am looking up some info from the
database and populating a select list dynamically, however I am
running into some sort of size limitation with the ajax.response
object. If the string I am passing to javascript from php is too large
javascript does not get it all the data. The magic number appears to
be 6123 characters, anything below that it works fine, anything above
and if I alert the ajax.response, I see the string is cutoff. Any
ideas where this limitation is defined?

I recommend POSTing your form that way there is virtually no limit on
the input size.

Yes do Post-ing with <?php ob_start('ob_gz handler');?in your PHP
file. This will compress your data.
