How to hide the parameters shown in the url while submitting a form

[vanlalhmangaiha khiangte]

Hi all,

I have a form and have some values in the form ..

   
 
form1.action="welcome.do?operate=2&showFlag="+<%=showFlag%>+"&operateCode="+<%=operatecode%>;
form1.submit();
 

When the form is submitted in the address bar all these parameters are shown.Is there anyway to hide these parameters?

Thanks

You should use POST instead of GET, and make those parameters hidden input fields.

Hi,
My form is already using POST..
I cannot hide the parameter.. I have a common js script. Lots of pages are using this common script
In that I am doing this function..
CODE]
window.location=url;

[/CODE]
where url="welcome.do?"...ETC parameters following here

Thanks,

Hi,
you can use HIDDEN input tag.
e.g

 
<input type="hidden" name="addFrom" id="addFrom" value="<%= addFrom %>">

Setting window.location is different from calling form.submit(). The former will always do a GET, while the latter -which is what the code you posted is doing- will use whatever the form's action attribute is set to.

The only way to keep parameters out of the URL is to use POST. So if that's the paramount requirement, then you'll need to adapt the code that's forcing you to do a GET.
