Send POST data on redirect with JavaScript/jQuery? [duplicate]
Solution 1:
per @Kevin-Reid's answer, here's an alternative to the "I ended up doing the following" example that avoids needing to name and then lookup the form object again by constructing the form specifically (using jQuery)..
var url = 'http://example.com/vote/' + Username;
var form = $('<form action="' + url + '" method="post">' +
'<input type="text" name="api_url" value="' + Return_URL + '" />' +
'</form>');
$('body').append(form);
form.submit();
Solution 2:
Construct and fill out a hidden method=POST action="http://example.com/vote" form and submit it, rather than using window.location at all.
Solution 3:
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 ) {
value = value.split('"').join('\"')
form += '<input type="hidden" name="'+key+'" value="'+value+'">';
});
$('<form action="' + location + '" method="POST">' + form + '</form>').appendTo($(document.body)).submit();
}
});

Here is a method, which does not use jQuery. I used it to create a bookmarklet, which checks the current page on w3-html-validator.
var f = document.createElement('form');
f.action='http://validator.w3.org/check';
f.method='POST';
f.target='_blank';
var i=document.createElement('input');
i.type='hidden';
i.name='fragment';
i.value='<!DOCTYPE html>'+document.documentElement.outerHTML;
f.appendChild(i);
document.body.appendChild(f);
f.submit();
Solution 5:
If you are using jQuery, there is a redirect plugin that works with the POST or GET method. It creates a form with hidden inputs and submits it for you. An example of how to get it working:
$.redirect('demo.php', {'arg1': 'value1', 'arg2': 'value2'});
Note: You can pass the method types GET or POST as an optional third parameter; POST is the default.
