Target an iframe with a HTML Post with jQuery

Question

If I\'m using jQuery or JavaScript to do a post, how can I make it target an iframe rather than the current page?

jQuery.post( 
    url, 
    [data], 
    [c

You can solve the no-form-allowed-within-a-form problem by dynamically creating the form and appending it to the body. So you'd do something like this:

$().ready(function() {
    $('body').append('

         
       
');
});

That creates your iframe-updating form outside of the main form that encompasses everything else on the page. Then just call it as Josh recommended: $('#myspecialform').submit();.
