[SOLVED] Add to POST from anchor

Is it possible to add values to the post array from an anchor link?

 

so my anchor is this <a href="news.php">January</a> is their anyway to add January to the post array which will be detected on news.php.

 

I know i can use GET and just add it to the URL or instead of having anchors have a form which POST to news.php with buttons and style them like links, but i don't want to do this because it affects the layout to much..

Here's a very basic example:

 

<form name="sample_form" action="news.php" method="post">
<input type='hidden' name='search' value='January' />
<a href="#" onclick="submitform();return false;">January</a>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
<!--
function submitform(){
  document.sample_form.submit();
}
//-->
</SCRIPT> 

thanks, instead of having a hidden form for each link i updated the hidden field before i submitted here it is if anyone else has a similar problem

 

	function submitform(link)
{
	document.getElementById("hiddenMonth").value = link.innerHTML
	form = document.getElementById("newsForm");
	//submit form
	form.submit();
}

 

and the anchor was <a href='#' onclick='submitform(this); return false;'>$month</a>
