passing textboxes without submit

[tomboy78]

is it possible to pass a text box to another page, without the use of submit button.

preferably without a forum as well, just a link and that pass textbox something like page.php?pass=textbox

thanks in advance

I don't think that is possible b/c the form is what will take the value selected from the text box and pass it....however I may be wrong....

Why do you want to do it like that (if you don't mind my asking)?

you can do it with a link and javascript and have the link actually submit the form with the get method

If you don't mind limiting your scripts to IE5.5 or greater, then...

<script language="javascript">
<!--
var xmlHTTP = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
var bIgnoreWaitforserverresponse= false;
var strUrltotest = "http://localhost/foo_bar.html";

function sendtoserver(strUrl, strPostvars) {
if ( typeof xmlHTTP == "object" ) {
xmlHTTP.open("POST", strUrltotest , bgnoreWaitforserverresponse);
xmlHTTP.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
var strCmd = "x=y&b=z"; // POST vars go here
xmlHTTP.send(strCmd);
}
}

// -->
</script>

or.. for a more generic approach try:

that sems very convoluted to do a simple thing like submit a form

That's true 🙂

One of the few reasons to use this method is when you have a lot more data to send than what the URL length can muster. I use this method to obtain dynamic select boxes in some of my apps. It's a pain to maintain but it's probably easier than to use the hidden IFRAME method which still uses a GET method (with it's length limitation).
