passing a large data structure for a modal dialog
Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2005 4:27 am
Hello
I have a very large data structure in JavaScript that I need to pass to a modal dialog which I open with showModalDialog (and yes, I know this is IE only)
Up until now, I serialized the data structure and passed it as part of the URL
But now the data structure is too large
I thought about passing it using the vArguments parameter of the showModalDialog function, but that leads to a problem
I am using PHP to process to request for the page. When I was passing the data structure as part of the URL, I had access to that information in PHP
When I pass it via vArguments, I don't have access for it in PHP
Is there a way to solve it? as I must have PHP refer to the passed data structure and I don't want to be limited in the size of the data I send
regards
