POST form and prevent response

Question

I have the following form:

On submission of thi

Answer 1

You could just use AJAX (XMLHttpRequest in this example) to submit the post

var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open("POST", "http://domain.com/api.json?param=value", true);
xmlhttp.send(null);

Before hand, if you need. You can grab your param value and encode it:

var val = encodeURIComponent(document.getElementById("param").value);

then the second line would be more like:

xmlhttp.open("POST", "http://domain.com/api.json?param="+val, true);

Otherwise, any sort of submitting from a form will load a page. A hack would be to put it in a iframe thats hidden, and just delete the iframe when done.
