So in other words, you'd like to post a form on the click of a link, and
submit a certain value, if I understood your explanation. What would you say
of the following "workaround": change your <a href> to a form:
<form action="reciever.php" class="pseudolink" method="POST">
<input type="submit"/>
<input type="hidden" name="var" value="val"/>
</form>
and attatch a stylesheet that'll camouflage your form into a harmless
looking link:
<style type="text/css">
..pseudolink {
display:inline;
}
..pseudolink input {
display:inline;
border:none;
backgroundcolor:one;
text-decoration:underline;
cursor:pointer;
color:blue;
}
</style>
I'm just one of the people who wish to avoid javascript whenever it is
possible. I think there's a chance here to do so with the code above. Of
course there will be n+1 forms on the page, I dunno if that's nice then...
Call this the alternative then if you will.
