I am using ckeditor to format some data inside my textarea

<textarea id=editorAbout rows=70 cols=80 name=editorAbout></textarea>

Now when i try to post this data using jQuery.ajax like this,

var about=escape( $(#editorAbout).text());

            $.ajax({

             type: POST,

             url: ../Allcammand.aspx?cmd=EditAboutCompany&about=+about,

             type:post,

                async: false ,

                   success: function(response){                                       



                    },

                    error:function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError){alert(xhr.responseText); }

            });

I get the error

HTTP Error 414. The request URL is too long.

I am getting the error here: http://iranfairco.com/example/errorLongUrl.aspx

Try clicking on the Edit Text button at the bottom left of that page.

Why is this happening? How can I solve it?

According to this question the maximum practical length of a URL is 2000 characters. This isn't going to be able to hold a massive Wikipedia article like you're trying to send.

Instead of putting the data on the URL you should be putting it in the body of a POST request. You need to add a data value to the object you're passing to the ajax function call. Like this:

function editAbout(){



    var about=escape( $(#editorAbout).text());

    $.ajax({

        url: Allcammand.aspx?cmd=EditAboutCompany&idCompany=+getParam(idCompany),

        type:post,

        async: false,

        data: {

            about: about

        },

        success: function(response){                                       

        },

        error:function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError){alert(xhr.responseText); ShowMessage(??? ?? ?????? ??????? ????,fail);}

    });

}
