Question

what’s the easiest way to convert a GET URL string to POST in jQuery?

e.g. I want the params of a link

    <a href="/somepage?x=1&amp;y=3" id="postlink">link</a>

to be submitted as POST onclick if javascript is activated. No AJAX, just normal form submitting.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Hannes.

I just write this code, check please, may be it helpful http://jsfiddle.net/AEwxt/

$('#postlink').click(function() {
    var p = $(this).attr('href').split('?');
    var action = p[0];
    var params = p[1].split('&');
    var form = $(document.createElement('form')).attr('action', action).attr('method','post');
    $('body').append(form);
    for (var i in params) {
        var tmp= params[i].split('=');
        var key = tmp[0], value = tmp[1];
        $(document.createElement('input')).attr('type', 'hidden').attr('name', key).attr('value', value).appendTo(form);
    }
    $(form).submit();
    return false;
});
