Redirect, but POST wanted.

[Vishal Saxena]

hi,
If I redirect to a URL, I achieve a GET. How to achieve a POST ?

It's a thought, but I'm not sure it will work.
One thing to try is to redirect to an intermediate page, and have the intermediate page do an 'auto-post' to the page you want.
The intermediate page would look like this:

<form name="myForm" action="ABC" method="POST">
...hidden fields in here if necessary
</form>
<script language="javascript">
document.myForm.submit();
</script>

I have seen this submit done in a Javascript "page complete" event. Anybody recall that actual event name? Is it necessary to put it there, or is it ok as shown in the post above? Let us know how this works out for you!

I have used the technique that David outlined above many times with great success.

The only bad side to David's approach is that the back button won't let the user back through (unless they click it REAL fast).
