Post raw form data from web page

I would like to send raw post data using straightforward DHTML, but without using the XMLHttpRequest object. Is this possible to do this,开发者_JAVA百科 for example, by forcing an HTML form element's post data to an arbitrary string?

Before you post the form, you could dynamically add html input elements (with values) to the form, and then call form.sumbit(). This will still refresh the page though.

The only way that I'm aware of to post data without refreshing the page is using the XMLHttpRequest object. Using jQuery makes this whole operation pretty trivial http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/ , so I'm not sure why you don't want to use ajax to accomplish this?

You can easily generate a string that resembles a POST request. There is not much difference between a POST and a GET. Using GET, the parameters are added behind the url. When POSTing, the parameters are added in the same way, but below the headers.

See developers.sun.com for an example.
