[SOLVED] hrefs with $_POST?

[EchoFool]

Can href links that are displayed in a form, in anyway count as a $_POST when clicked..or is it always 100% _GET with hrefs when using ?test&var=1 etc ?

 

Is there a way to use post in hrefs? Not that i need to just wanted to know if it was at all possible.

You can use an onclick function to send POST data, but otherwise, it'll just be GET.

Isn't that JS language that does that? Or is that html ?

[Ken2k7]

That is JavaScript. AJAX specifically, unless you want the link's onclick function to just submit the form with POST method.

Ok thanks Ken, i will have a fiddle with the onclick function! Thank you!

<script language="Javascript">
  function submitInfo(x) {
    document.getElementById('someField').value = x;
    document.getElementById('someForm').submit();
  }
</script>

<a href='javascript: void(0);' onclick="submitInfo('someValue');">do something</a>
<form id='someForm' method='post' action='someplace.php'>
  <input type='hidden' id='someField' name='someField' value='' />
</form>
