VB for DB to Javascript Google Map

[jbarbeau]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a VB.net database for storing points and information about them using Google Maps. I need to encode these points using the Google API in Javascript.

I made functions to pass the data on the URL string with a redirect after the lookup. It works fine until the URL gets bigger than 2085 chars. (for IE). How can I pass the data without using the URL string?

I was looking at a blog about using POST, but I'm not sure how to redirect with a POST, and what do I do with the URL string. Can I just put it in a string var. on the setup page?

Read a tutorial about GET and POST, don't just look at a blog. Realise also that this is better posted in the javascript forum.
