I am opening a window and passing set of parameters to it. In this case, I am sending json string. At time, the info is toolarge, and Request-URI Too Large occurs. 

window.open('../pssops21/php/createPhonePdf.php?strSelectedItems=' 
   + strSelectedItems + '&strQBNumbers=' + arrQBNumbers, 'mywindow', 
   'resizable=1, scrollbars=1, left=80,top=60, width=650, min-height=400')

Window.open does not have option to post. Jquery ajax only posts info retrieves, results and does not open a new window.

Are there any methods to do this?

Thanks.

    Unfortunately this is tricky situation in web applications. The limit on the size of a URI is typically dictated by the browser you are using and the option to POST data is not a standard available. As for doing an Ajax post and then “loading” the results, is typically not supported for security reasons.

    A workaround I have used in the past is to make it a two-step process. Basically use Ajax to post your json data to the server. As a response, have the server send back some kind of token to retrieve the stored data. Then, use that token as a parameter to the new window you are opening, who can then retrieve the data.

    I know it is a little bit more work to get the data over to your new page, but it does eliminate these size/security restrictions, and is a cross-browser safe.
