I'm sorry if the form rules aren't clear enough. Please link to a test case that shows the error.

Also DataTables 1.6.1 is extremely old. v1.10.11 is the current release.

Finally, it sounds like the server has a limit of the query string limit. I would suggest you use POST to get around that.

I am not savvy with coding. Also, I would not be able to send a test case. It does however seem that the server has a limit, but i don't know where to go to edit the limit.

how would use POST?

allan

There is a POST example here.

Details on how you can show a test case are here.

I'd very strongly recommend you just use POST rather than changing the server configuration.

Okay to close, thanks for your help with the example. being that I am someone who does not know what to look for nor write code. i was able to dig around and find the solutions. i also contacted a few friends in-network that pointed me the right direction. it was just as simple as finding the right file to edit and change GET to POST.

i do have one other question, it should not have any impact on the server by changing GET to POST correct?

allan

It is very unlikely to - although it is of course impossible to say with absolutely certainty that it won't since I don't know how your server is configured.
