parameter passing with href

[varkala prabhakar]

Hi all,
I my work, i get the url from the database and this is to be displayed as a link.I am using href for the link. When i click on the url, url parameters are displayed.
I cannot keep a submit button for the link to hide the parameters.
I want to hide the parameters, Can any one tell me how to hide the parameters.
thank you..

Not sure if I'm getting your question straight or not, but here's a shot:
You want to create a link that will submit a request complete with request parameters, but do not want to display those parameters as part of the URL.
If so, I'd create a form with all the parameters that you want to submit as hidden values. This form would have no page-visibile components. Then, when the link is clicked, you submit the form via JavaScript (no submit button necessary).
For example:

<a href="javascript: document.formWithHiddenParams.submit()">Click me!<a>

hth,
bear

You can create a form with hidden variables and use the POST method so the variables will not appear in the URL. Naturally you will have to handle the request in doPost. Any basic HTML reference will tell you how to create a form.

Hi William,
Whether Form can be handled with out a submit button.
I should not have a submit button, Just a link and parameters should be hidden
