POST Question

[BoulderBum]

When a form gets posted, do the inputs alone (those in textboxes and selects, hiddens, etc) get passed, or can JavaScript variables get passed too?

 

[LFI]

Just the inputs.

If you want to "send variables," then just set the values of some hidden inputs to the values of the variables, submit, and grab them on the other side.

'hope that helps.

Thanks, man. I was actually trying to study the anatomy of a post because I had to make one using straight text (it's a long story). Like you implied, it appears that only the values of the controls get passed with a request after the HTTP header.
