Question

Making a GET request is easy, you just specify an URL in the href attribute of an anchor tag.

But, how do you add a JSON object to that URL?

I’m guessing this has to be done through jQuery… but I can’t user AJAX, or the response isn’t rendered by the browser.

so far, I’ve tried this: $j("#gen").attr("href", $j("#gen").attr("href") + "?" + JSON.stringify({object: data})); but it doesn’t append the data. This is triggered onClick

Answer 1

This should work:

jQuery("#gen").attr("href", jQuery("#gen").attr("href") + "?" + jQuery.param({object: data}));
