Executing the GET Method(also posted in VScript forum)

**jesus4u** · Nov 28th, 2001, 08:30 AM

IS there a way I can execute the GET method from an HREF link and also pass one variable along with it?

I have been using the code below which works but now I need to use the GET method anytime my user clicks on any of my various hyperlinks. I would rather NOT build a very long Querystring with the data I want to submit.
Thanks

Code:

<A href="javascript:document.form.submit()" >Save Changes</A>

Why don't you use a global Javascript variable or a hidden textbox that stores the querystring, and then send that when the Submit button is clicked?

The GET method automatically sends the contents of the form in a QueryString...

actually I found this from Serge. I like it very much but the MOD I need is to redirect the user after the form has been submitted.
Thanks for any ideas...

Code:

<HTML>
<SCRIPT Language=VBScript>
Sub SubmitInfo
	frmMyForm.submit
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>

<FORM action="MyASPPage.asp" name=frmMyForm id=frmMyForm>
UserName:<INPUT Type=Text name=txtName><BR>
Password:<INPUT Type=Text name=txtPassword><BR>

<BR>
<U><P onclick="VBScript: SubmitInfo" style="cursor=hand">Submit</P></U>

</FORM>

</BODY>

In the ASP code:

response.redirect "url"

or in Javascript (I dont think this is where it should be though)

document.location = "url";
