[Geomoose-users] IE URL limit and feature editor

[Brent Fraser]

A known bug (http://geomoose.org/trac/ticket/5) .  One fix would be 
re-code the submission as a POST instead of a GET, but that could be a 
lot of work...

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

At first I could not understand why editing some features worked fine, but for others nothing at all would happen when I clicked the javascript edit link. After closer examination it appears that IE has an URL length limit of 2038 characters, which is easily surpassed with only a few dozen nodes on the polygon.
