I have a html form with the data by this post method ‘form id=’form1’

  • 0

I have a html form with the data by this post method 

 'form  id='form1' name='form1' method='post' action='process.php'etc '

to a php page for processing into a mysql database . When the user has filled in the form BEFORE submitting it I have a button that the user can click to open up a new page to display a pdf of the data entered. The new pdf file is generated fine but what I need in it is the post data from the form.
In the pdf page I can use POST to get the detail. What I need is a method of sending the data from the form to this new page without using the form tag above as it is needed for the processing of the form.
What I am looking for is a js method to redirect to a new page with the post data intact

Can anybody help please ? , any help is much appreciated ! Mick

    I think I know what you mean. You want to post the form to a popup window, without the current page/form reloading or submitting.

    You can actually open up a popup window, with a name, and then set the target of the form to this new popup window. Then change it right away back to “_TOP” and you should be fine.

    I would recommend using jquery, if you aren’t already. It makes javascript so much more workable.
