davej Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 So as a newbie I'm finding that sending a message to the server from a JS function requires a little deviousness. The approach I'm testing is to insert a text input inside a blank form using innerHTML immediately before issuing a submit for that form. Is that a reasonable approach or is there a better way? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 If you're submitting a form then that's one way to do it. You could also use hidden inputs so they don't show up on the page, or change the URL of the action to add your variables there. You could also use ajax instead of submitting a form if that fits your situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am working my way through a boilerplate AJAX example that had me confused. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_input.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
