function __doPostBack

[StirCrazy]

I'm trying to figure out how this __doPostBack function works in relation to the date form below.

 

I'm trying to get a commission report for another site and want to find out what variables it posts and in what format.

 

Can anyone help?

Sample below.

 

Oh and just a side note (that should be in the PHP forum but you may know) Is it possible to post variables using PHP CURL to an .aspx page?

 

Regards,

<form name="Form1" method="post" action="report.aspx" id="Form1">

<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTTARGET" value="" />

<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTARGUMENT" value="" />

 

 

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

<!--

function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {

var theform;

if (window.navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("microsoft") > -1) {

theform = document.Form1;

}

else {

theform = document.forms["Form1"];

}

theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget.split("$").join(":");

theform.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;

theform.submit();

}

// -->

</script>

Looks like it just sets some hidden values and submits the form...?

[StirCrazy]

thanks fenway.

 

can you tell what variables are sent?... say if I selected 1st January 2007 -> 2nd January 2007 (ie. how is the date formatted when parsed in the form).

 

Thanks for your help.

When what happens? That is, which button/link?
