Scenario:
You want to post data from one page to another with JavaScript.
Solution:
First, create a JavaScript function in your page. This will need to be surrounded by script tags and should probably live in the head tags (or have a js file included there):
JavaScript
function postwith (to,p) { var myForm = document.createElement("form"); myForm.method="post" ; myForm.action = to ; for (var k in p) { var myInput = document.createElement("input") ; myInput.setAttribute("name", k) ; myInput.setAttribute("value", p[k]); myForm.appendChild(myInput) ; } document.body.appendChild(myForm) ; myForm.submit() ; document.body.removeChild(myForm) ; }
Now, you can post via click (or other events) on elements. This example I’ll just use a hyperlink:
<a href="javascript:postwith('post.php',{firstname:'john',lastname:'smith'})">click</a>
