jQuery onclick pass post variables and reload page

Can I pass post variables and reload a page on clicking an hyperlink?

To be clear I have something like this. <a href="test.php?name=test">Click</a>

If javascript is enabled,

I think I can use "event.preventDefault()" to suppress passing as GET variable.

So now onclick, name should be passe开发者_JS百科d as post variable instead of get.

If javascript is disabled, Then the above should work.

You could do it, by creating a new form element, pointing it at the href and calling .submit() on it.

<a class="postlink" href="test.php?name=test">Click</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $('.postlink').click(function() {
        var form= document.createElement('form');
        form.method= 'post';
        form.action= this.protocol+'//'+this.hostname+this.pathname;
        $.each(this.search.slice(1).split(/[&;]/g), function() {
            var ix= this.indexOf('=');
            if (ix===-1) return;
            var input= document.createElement('input');
            input.type= 'hidden';
            input.name= decodeURIComponent(this.slice(0, ix));
            input.value= decodeURIComponent(this.slice(ix+1));
            form.appendChild(input);
        });
        document.body.appendChild(form);
        form.submit();
        return false;
    });
</script>

Or you could just do an AJAX request instead and reload() the page afterwards if you prefer.

However, I'm not sure why you'd want to do this. What use is a link that's usually POSTed, except when it's not? (Not just when JS is disabled/unavailable or when it's a search engine, but also when the user middle-clicks the link or tries to right-click-bookmark it or whatever.)

If all you want is something that behaves like a button to submit a POST form, better to actually use a real form and submit button, and then use CSS to restyle it to look like a link if that's what you want it to look like.

Very good hint....

I was first trying to send the form data via an Ajax Post call and reloading the page afterwards, but it was not working properly:

var  biq_select_val = jQuery('#biq_search_select').val();
jQuery.post(window.location.href,
        { biq_amazon_item_list_search: biq_select_val},
        function() {window.location.reload();}
    );

Now I am using just a:

jQuery('#biq_amazon_item_list_search_form').submit();

and it is working fine.

I have some 10 links on a page. When user clicks on those links ajax-reload must take place.

To be clear I have something like this.

<a href="test.php?name=one">one</a>
<a href="test.php?name=Two">Two</a>

If javascript is enabled,

Onclick, ajax load must take place.

If javascript is disabled, Then the above should work.

Basically I am using name to limit some values of my search page.
