    It may not be the cause but, just for information, there is a setting for form submission in the Coldfusion Administrator. It is in the page, Server Settings => Settings.

    Got the same error in CF11. Seems, query is too big. I'm passing list of IDs to it, which is quite long. How can it be fixed?

    I believe replacing with jquery fixed it.
