Question

I am developing a website using asp.net c# and I want to put a form inside the page. Now as aspx pages have the form tag I do not want to nest another form inside this as it will invalidate my html. But I need this form to use GET rather than POST. I know I can change the postback url in the asp:button. Can this be done without using logic in the codbehind?

1. Change the method to GET just for this form not every thing on the page
2. change the target to _blank if possible.

Example in html of what I want.

<form action="http://maps.google.co.uk/maps" method="get">
<p><label for="saddr">Your postcode</label>
<input type="text" name="saddr" id="saddr" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
<input type="hidden" name="daddr" value="[destination]" />
<input type="hidden" name="hl" value="en" /></p>
</form>

Answer 1

you can use jquery to accomplish this

$(document).ready(function() {
 $("#buttonId").click(function() {
   $("#formId").attr("method", "get");
 });
});

the above snippet, fires when the button with id ‘buttonId’ is clicked. it changes the method attribute of the form with id ‘formId’
