jQuery - Redirect with post data

Question

How can I redirect with post data?

How to move to new page with $_POST?

How to do this? How is it done and whyfore shall it be done

Answer 1

I included the jquery.redirect.min.js plugin in the head section together with this json solution to submit with data

<script type="text/javascript">     
    $(function () {
     $('form').on('submit', function(e) {
       $.ajax({
        type: 'post',
        url: 'your_POST_URL',
        data: $('form').serialize(),
        success: function () {
         // now redirect
         $().redirect('your_POST_URL', {
          'input1': $("value1").val(), 
          'input2': $("value2").val(),
      'input3': $("value3").val()
       });
      }
   });
   e.preventDefault();
 });
 });
 </script>

Then immediately after the form I added

 $(function(){
     $( '#your_form_Id' ).submit();
    });

Answer 2

"extended" the above solution with target. For some reason i needed the possibility to redirect the post to _blank or another frame:

$.extend(
   {
       redirectPost: function(location, args, target = "_self")
       {
           var form = $('<form></form>');
           form.attr("method", "post");
           form.attr("action", location);
           form.attr("target", target);
           $.each( args, function( key, value ) {
               var field = $('<input></input>');
               field.attr("type", "hidden");
               field.attr("name", key);
               field.attr("value", value);
               form.append(field);
           });
           $(form).appendTo('body').submit();
       }
   });

Why dont just create a form with some hidden inputs and submit it using jQuery? Should work :)

Answer 4

Here's a simple small function that can be applied anywhere as long as you're using jQuery.

var redirect = 'http://www.website.com/page?id=23231';
$.redirectPost(redirect, {x: 'example', y: 'abc'});

// jquery extend function
$.extend(
{
    redirectPost: function(location, args)
    {
        var form = '';
        $.each( args, function( key, value ) {
            form += '<input type="hidden" name="'+key+'" value="'+value+'">';
        });
        $('<form action="'+location+'" method="POST">'+form+'</form>').appendTo('body').submit();
    }
});

Per the comments, I have expanded upon my answer:

// jquery extend function
$.extend(
{
    redirectPost: function(location, args)
    {
        var form = $('<form></form>');
        form.attr("method", "post");
        form.attr("action", location);

        $.each( args, function( key, value ) {
            var field = $('<input></input>');

            field.attr("type", "hidden");
            field.attr("name", key);
            field.attr("value", value);

            form.append(field);
        });
        $(form).appendTo('body').submit();
    }
});

Answer 5

why not just use a button instead of submit. clicking the button will let you construct a proper url for your browser to redirect to.

$("#button").click(function() {
   var url = 'site.com/process.php?';
   $('form input').each(function() {
       url += 'key=' + $(this).val() + "&";
   });
   // handle removal of last &.

   window.location.replace(url);
});

Answer 6

Before document/window ready add "extend" to jQuery :

$.extend(
{
    redirectPost: function(location, args)
    {
        var form = '';
        $.each( args, function( key, value ) {

            form += '<input type="hidden" name="'+value.name+'" value="'+value.value+'">';
            form += '<input type="hidden" name="'+key+'" value="'+value.value+'">';
        });
        $('<form action="'+location+'" method="POST">'+form+'</form>').submit();
    }
});

Use :

$.redirectPost("someurl.com", $("#SomeForm").serializeArray());

Note : this method cant post files .
