Hi, is it possible to pass the POST method in a link instead of GET?

[roudard]

with a hidden form that would submit post when you click the link ?

I can't use a form. I need it to match my css. I tried changing the look, it worked, by formatting the button to look like a link, but the bottom border doesn't extend long enough.

if you have an hidden form, by essence you don't show it, so your layout should not be affected.
The link can be anything (div, text, img)
[code]
<a href='java script:void(0)' onclick='document.getElementById("myFormId").submit()'>
{link element}
</a>
[code]

OK, here is my form.

<form action="index.php?do=move" method="post">
<li><input name="north" type="submit" value="Move North" class="submit" /></li>
<li><input name="west" type="submit" value="Move West" class="submit" /></li>
<li><input name="east" type="submit" value="Move East" class="submit" /></li>
<li><input name="south" type="submit" value="Move South" class="submit" /></li>
</form>

Can you show me how to make those links with that method?

The link does nothing

[roudard]

the link submits the form...

sorry the id='myFormId' attribute should be added to the form flag
you can even wrap it up nicely with a fucntion

function moveSomeWhere(direction) {
	document.getElementById("myFormId").direction.value= direction;
	document.getElementById("myFormId").submit();
}

and then

<form action="index.php?do=move" method="post" id="myFormId">
<input type='hidden' name='direction'>
<li><a href='java script:void(0)' onclick='moveSomeWhere("north")'>
Move North</a></li>
//and so on... 
</form>

i thought you needed it to be sent via post
just add an hidden field with name='do' and value='move'
