<quote src="rfc2616">
The HTTP protocol does not place any a priori limit on the length of
a URI. Servers MUST be able to handle the URI of any resource they
serve, and SHOULD be able to handle URIs of unbounded length if they
provide GET-based forms that could generate such URIs. A server
SHOULD return 414 (Request-URI Too Long) status if a URI is longer
than the server can handle (see section 10.4.15).

Note: Servers ought to be cautious about depending on URI lengths
above 255 bytes, because some older client or proxy
implementations might not properly support these lengths.

Let me just add that your initial post led us all thinking about a
problem you didn't have.

>>> The problems started when I added a dropdown menu to the grid

>>> a few values in the drop-down.

The form buttons have been working all the time, with 134 records or
248!
The form would be submitted -- that's what the buttons are for.
