I don't know whether I converted the html correctly. In firefox, I chose "Forms" -> "Convert Forms Method" -> "Convert POSTs to GETs". Is it correct?

And, I "use" the website by selecting length of dates displayed. Is it correct?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks. You said it works 50-70% time. Does it work for this website?

I tried to "use" it after converting it from posts to gets, but the address bar remains unchanged.

Thanks a lot.

When you then *use* the form, the URL and its parameters should be revealed in the address bar as you go to the requested page.

However, it doesn't always work. I would say about 50-70% of the time. Some requests MUST be "Puts", so changing them the a "Get" doesn't work. And it won't help on ASP pages.

Thank you so much. I have installed the firefox addon accordingly, and have successfully changed the website form from "Posts" to "Gets". I still can't find any "bookmarkable" URL. May you pls give me more color on getting it? Thank you very much!!!

Sounds right.
