use post method instead of get... get sends the query string in the 
url... post embeds it in a form... make sure you have the appropriate 
hidden form variables defined that get populated on the client side with 
javascript, etc. yes, it will be prettier. needless to say, it will be a 
tad bit more complicated than what you are using till now.
