Question

working with an html form, with a “post” method, is there a way to instruct the browser to dynamically add data (once client posts the form) to a post WITHOUT it being in the form of an input elements’ name value pairs? Could you use javascript/jquery/ajax to just say, when this form gets posted, append some characters?

Answer 1

<form id="form1" onsubmit="sbmForm1();return false;">
<input type="text" name="var1" value="value1" />
<input type="text" name="var2" value="value3" />
<input type="submit" name="sbm-btn" value="send" />
</form>

In javascript function sbmForm1 you can add parameter and send them via ajax:

    $.ajax({
        url: 'http://www.yoururl.com/script.php',
        type: 'POST',
        cache: false,
        data: $('#form1').serialize() + '&yournewvar=yournewvalue',
        success: function(msg) {
            location.reload();
        }
    });

You need jquery to do this request!
