Is using the property GET faster than using POST when using a FORM if we have only few inputs, or it has nothing to do?

thanks.

I don't think there is much of a difference. It's just a preference thing with only a few itmes. If you want your visitors to bookmark the result, use get. If not, use post.

i think post is also slightly more secure.

but only because it uses a post and not a querystring

Using a querystring some browsers only have a maximum of 250 characters that can be submitted using 'get'

I tend to only use 'get' when the page might require book marking, like for a search page.

Post method is slightly more secure as the person can not change the input by changing the querystring in the URL.
