hi everybody,
anyone in the group please let me know regarding foll.:
if there is an HTML form and I am entering some keywords in the textbox and press SEARCH button, which is considered preferable/efficient: GET or POST or BOTH.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Monica

I am not so sure about efficiency, but rest depends on your requirements - if the search term is small and you'd like to allow your user to bookmark the page, then GET would be a better option.

It also depends on security, with the Get method all values are passed through the browsers address bar so things like passwords clearly cannot be passed this way and so use Post which hides them.
