Three questions that hopefully won't cause you to much trouble..

Just wonder what the maximum limitation of signs is in a querystring (how many signs) that is sent to an asp-page?

Are there any limitations on the number of variables that can be sent by the same q-string?

What happens if these limits are broken?

Thanks!

The QueryString has a maximum of 2000 characters. If more than 2000 characters is sent as part of the QueryString, the remainder beyond the 2000 will not be processed, althought the script still executes.

The querystring size depends on the browser. IE's limit is actually 2,083 chars (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q208427/). For other browsers, see this (http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2222).

Oh....I thought he was referring to the ASP QueryString collection.
