I can't say I've run into a limit, nor do I know of one on the _name_ of
a form element.   But there are limits to the length of URLs.  I believe
the documented limit is 1024 chars, but most browsers will do much more.
Anyway, my point is if you have lots of long form element names in one
form, don't use a GET for sure!  Use a POST.

HTH,
Andrew
