AS:URL Truncated

    I have a page that creates dynamic hyperlinks for each recorded displayed. Many of the constructed URLs exceed 128 characters. Those that with greater than 128 are truncated for some reason unknown to me. I know that IE supports URLs up to 2048 characters. Is there a way for me to create and use longer URLs in my ASP dynamic links?

    Example:
    This code:
    response.write "<a href=""somepage.asp?a=1234567890&b=1234567890&c=1234567890&d=1234567890&e=1234567890&f=1234567890&g=1234567890&h=1234567890&i=1234567890&j=1234567890&k=1234567890&l=1234567890&m=1234567890"">asdf</a>"

    Creates a url that appears like this:

    http://localhost/pages/somepage.asp?a=1234567890&b=1234567890&c=1234567890&d=1234567890&e=1234567890&f=1234567890&g=1234567890&

    Exactly, You'll see that ASP.NET's Viewstate hidden posted elements can get HUGE! I'm talking thousands of characters. It's also safer to pass around posted values.
