Internet Explorer has a maximum URL length limit of 2083 characters
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q208427/). If your form submits using GET
rather than POST then you may be hitting this limit. I don't know what the
behaviour would be if you are hitting this limit, whether it does nothing
(which is what you seem to be experiencing) or whether it uses a truncated
URL.

If it is related to using GET (and you are using IE) then can you change the
form to use POST instead?
