[Chameleon] Fwd: Chameleon on IIS4 Server

[Paul Spencer]

Edith,

you are correct, IIS suffers from this problem.  And IE suffers from the 
problem of truncating the GET requests somewhere around 2000 characters. 
  POST is the only way I know to get this to work with IE.

Chameleon doesn't actually do anything to the <form> so you have 
complete control over this in your templates.

Try using:

<form name="myForm" method="POST" action="index.phtml">
...
</form>

substituting index.phtml with whatever your application file is.
