Hello,

I have a <form> which has an action element.

The form has a submit button.

Is there a way so that when I click the submit button, the action link won's appear in the address bar?

Thanks in advance.

The url is going to appear since it has to submit to that location. Only way around it is to submit back to the same page you are on and have that page do the processing.

You could use AJAX to submit the form, or something like that. But why would you not want the browser to show the user the page it just navigated to?
