jQuery `submit` method ignores POST sends with GET. Why?

Question

I have a form like this.

Answer 1

As discussed in comments, there is no bug, at least on the last version of jQuery 2.0.3, one can test with this:

 0) {
  echo "Submitted with method=GET: \$_GET:
";
  var_dump($_GET);
  echo "";
}

if(count($_POST) > 0) {
echo "Submitted with method=POST: \$_POST:
";
  var_dump($_POST);
  echo "";
}
?>


  


Click me to Do jQuery Submit

When one clicks on gold background text, $("#hiddenForm").submit(); is used to submit the form.

Here is the output:

Submitted with method=POST: $_POST:
array(1) {
  ["HiddenFormInput"]=>
    string(0) ""
}

In your original form, no URL arguments are passed by the submitting, as only inputs with name attribute specified are submitted. So I added the attribute name="HiddenFormInput" for your hidden input.
