Shane,

ZhbGetInput supports both GET and POST request methods.

I suspect that when you use GET your browser is failing with GET because the amount of data you are attempting to send exceeds the browser's maximum QUERY_STRING size. POST has no such limits.

I tested this suspicion with a test CGI program that sends a huge form using the POST request method and it works fine. When I changed the request method to GET, neither Netscape nor Internet Explorer would send the form when the submit button was pressed.

There really is no benefit to using GET. On the downside, GET more clearly exposes your hidden fields to the user.

So, either use POST or reduce the amount of data sent with the form.

Regarding section names (Bob Cozzi's comment), I see no problem with the section name amtop and would not use noname instead.
