Hello,

My dilemma is:

I have a embedded sql query on my asp page which returns results from MS Access MDB based on user criteria. One of the fields that needs to be displayed in the results in an abstract of a book (which can be very long in some instances). Instead of displaying the results of the abstract on the same page i would like to know if its possible to return the word "Abstract" as a hyperlink for every record in the search results and when clicked the users fires up a pop-up window which displays the results of the abstract.

This is to avoid clutter on the original search results screen.

For instance:
<a href="abstract_popup_generator.asp?abstract=<% Response.Write(Abstract_Var) %>">Abstract</a>

where Abstract_Var would be = to the text in the database set after sql statement. I could then grab the abstract_var on the next page and display it appropriately. But is there any limits on the characters being transfered via a URL??

Or is there any other way of doing it?
