convert a GET to a POST before output to php

J

JRough

I have a Filemaker desktop application that sends a string of
serialized addresses as a GET parameter to a google map
(googlemap.php). There are some reasons I need to convert the GET to
a POST, one of which is there are sometimes 200 separate addresses and
in IE there is a limit. So I designed this local HTML page as a proxy
of sorts to convert the GET to a POST before sending it to the
googelmap.php page to display as addresses on google map. I copied
a Javascript routine from the web that parses the addresses and
assigns it to a variable (pgformproxy.js) . I'm not getting some
output so can someone tell me how to debug this before posting it to
php or if I'm going in the right direction? I don't know if I called
the function right or if the page post is right. Thanks very much,
Janis

This might be related to your "HTML" not being Valid.
