Automaited transfer of data via POST not GET

[BarryMVS]

Hi,

I need to move some data from one page to the next.

I can not use Cookies or the GET transfer option.

I need to do it using something like the Meta tag that refreshes a page.

Does anyone know how to do this, but POST the data, not add it to the URL after a ? (GET transfer).

Any help most welcomed.

Thanks,

Barry

Build yourself a copy of the form on the page and submit it to the URL. It need not actually LOOK like the original form, it just needs to have the same field names and values that the original form expects. You can even use hidden fields for most of them. You can also set the style of the form itself to hidden so it won't be displayed, but can still be filled by your code.

tsdragon,

Sorry if this sounds silly, but how do I automatically submit the form?

Also note that if the original form has an onSubmit function, it will not be called, as you are completely bypassing the original. If that's the case, you'll have to figure out what the onsubmit function does and duplicate its' functionality.
