I'll give that a try.  Thank you so much!

So the query string can be as long as it wants, but it's limited by the number of variables in it?

Well the thing is, if I set the form to submit regularly (meaning, without AJAX--actually navigate to the page) it all works fine.  However, if I don't, then it comes back saying one of the variables in my query string is undefined.

The problem is, I believe I am maxing out the query string length.  Is there a way to get around this?

I'm trying to create an AJAX function that submits a form.  So far, what I have it doing, is compiling all the form data into a string and submitting that.  However, I think its maxing out the querystring.

Is there a way to submit the entire form through AJAX without sending it through the querystring?

//Global variables
var http = null;

//Create request
function ajaxCreateRequestObject() {

    //Basic variable
    var req;

    //Check for browser compatibility
    //Firefox, safari, opera...
    if(window.XMLHttpRequest)
        req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    //IE v5+
    else if(window.ActiveXObject)
        req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    //No compatibility
    else
        alert('Problem creating the XMLHttpRequest object.');
    
    //Return the function
    return req;
}
//Send request
function ajaxSendRequest(method, url, handler, parameters)
{
    //Open up and send request
    http.open(method, url, true);
    http.onreadystatechange = handler;
    http.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
    http.send(parameters);
}

function adminProfileNewSubmit()
{
    //Get the form elements
    var Title=document.getElementById('adminFormProfileNewTitle').value;
    var Body=document.getElementById('adminFormProfileNewDesc').value;
    var Annc=document.getElementById('adminFormProfileNewAnn').value;
    var Url=document.getElementById('adminFormProfileNewUrl').value;
    var Guest=document.getElementById('adminFormProfileNewGuest').value;
    var User=document.getElementById('adminFormProfileNewUser').value;
    var Skin=document.getElementById('adminFormProfileNewSkin').value;
    var Def=document.getElementById('adminFormProfileNewDefault').value;
    
    //Validate form
    statusbarUpdate('Validatin...',true);
    if(adminProfileFormVerify() == false)
    {
        //Update status
        statusbarUpdate('Submitting...',true);
        
        //Prepare parameters
        var data = 'Title='+escape(Title)+'&Body='+escape(Body)+'&Annc='+escape(Annc)+'&Url='+escape(Url)+'&Guest='+Guest+'User='+User+'&Skin='+escape(Skin)+'&Default='+Def+'';
        
        var buttons = new Array( ['Okay', 'modalDeactivate()', 'modalBoxButtonYes'] );
        modalInitiate('AdminResults', 'Success!', data, buttons, 300);
        
        //Create and send request
        http = ajaxCreateRequestObject();
        ajaxSendRequest('POST','AJAX/adminBoard.asp?Action=3', adminProfileNewSubmitHandler, data);
    }else
        statusbarHide();
}
function adminProfileNewSubmitHandler()
{
    //Finished request
    if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200)
    {
        //Get response text
        var response = http.responseText;
        
        //Check for success
        if(response.indexOf('1')!=-1)
        {
            //Update content
            adminContentShowpage('adminBoard.asp','1')
            
            //Alert user to success
            var buttons = new Array( ['Okay', 'modalDeactivate()', 'modalBoxButtonYes'] );
            modalInitiate('AdminResults', 'Success!', 'The new profile has been created successfully.', buttons, 300);
        }else
        {
            //Alert
            var buttons = new Array( ['Okay', 'modalDeactivate()', 'modalBoxButtonYes'] );
            modalInitiate('AdminResults', 'Error!', 'There was an unknown error creating new profile.', buttons, 300);
        }
        
        //Hide statusbar
        statusbarUpdate('Loading...',false);
    }else if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status != 200)
        statusbarUpdate('Error with remote page.', true);
}

Anybody have any ideas?  I'd really appreciate the help.

This isn't really a bug on my own PunBB Forums, its just something I have noticed here on the main forums...

Whenever a topic appears to be moved, the "Views" and "Replies" for that topic appear to be blank.  I don't know the reason behind it, but has anyone else noticed this too?  I don't see why they should be stripped of the topic simply because it was moved...  I would still be interested in seeing that information, if it was done on purpose?

Just a thought...

[Edit] Also, the last post. That doesn't come up either.

[Again] Demo?  I would like to see it working before I try to install it...  I must say I am very interested.

Hmm.  I found that to be very helpful, but I can't get it to work.  The X and Y parts don't work when I tried.  Would you mine taking my script (below) and seeing if you can get any of it to work in your own way?  I'd really appreciate it.

I am coding the latest versions of my forums, and I am trying to implement pop-up menu's using a simple Javascript code that call's a DIV layer with the menu options already in it, to the link that calls the menu.  The javascript is as follows:

<script language="Javascript">
    var hideContext=0;
    function showMenu(menu,el,position)
    {
        el = document.getElementById(el);
        div = document.getElementById(menu);
        
        //Point of the elements left corner, plus width = right corner
        //We want the right edge of the popup to align to the right corner
        //So, get the point of the right corner - the width of the menu
        //And you get the point of the left corner for the div when alligned
        var point = el.offsetLeft + el.offsetWidth;
        point = point - div.offsetWidth;
        
        with(document.getElementById(menu))
        {
            //Move to below item
            style.top=el.offsetTop + el.offsetHeight;
            //Position depending on align left or right
            if(position==1)
                style.left=el.offsetLeft;
            else if(position==2)
                style.left=point;
            //Display
            style.visibility='visible';
        }
        
        clearTimeout(hideContext);
    }
    function hide(menu)
    {
        document.getElementById(menu).style.visibility='hidden';
    }
</SCRIPT>

The link that calls the menu:

<DIV align="right">Post #1 | <A id="MenuLink1" href="javascript:void(false)" onClick="showMenu('PostMenu1',this.id,2)">Options</A></DIV>
<!-- POPUP MENU -->
<DIV id="PostMenu1" class="Popup">
    <A href="PostEdit.asp?ForumID=3&ThreadID=1&PostID=1">Edit</A><BR>
    <A href="PostDelete.asp?ForumID=3&ThreadID=1&PostID=1">Delete</A><BR>
    <A href="javascript:void(hide('PostMenu1'))">Close</A>
</DIV>

In internet explorer the menu pops-up at the top of the page, not even aligned horizontally as it should.  In Firefox, the menu pops-up under the link as it should, but it appears to the left of the page, not aligned with the right side of the link as it should.  Any ideas?

Thanks.
