jQuery - Redirect with post data

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

Solution 1:

There is a JQuery plug-in that accomplishes pretty much what you're trying to do: https://github.com/mgalante/jquery.redirect/blob/master/jquery.redirect.js.

After including JQuery and the jquery.redirect.min.js plug-in, you can simply do something like this:

$().redirect('demo.php', {'arg1': 'value1', 'arg2': 'value2'});

Use the following code on newer JQuery versions instead:

$.redirect('demo.php', {'arg1': 'value1', 'arg2': 'value2'});

Hope this helps!

Solution 2:

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();
    }
});

Solution 3:

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

Solution 4:

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 .
