That said, the only other way to generate a POST from a browser other than a form is via Ajax.
I understand. What it basically is is that I have a existing ability on my site to do this, but want a user to be able to submit the information in a different way.
Currenty a user can enter a item and a quantity(only 10 of these at the moment each with their own text box), then these get sent to a page that displays the result. What I want to do is let the user enter the information in a text area via comma seperated values (so they can use as many as they want at once) but still come to the same results page. So for that to work I need to parse the data from the text area and then send it with the same POST values as the individual text boxes would have had.
New to this so that seems like the simplest way but perhaps not so much.
