I need to send data to server without refreshing the page – one trick is to use a “target = ‘dummy'” in the href but that creates a blank page which I don’t want. Any clean way to do this? And I don’t want to use a frame set with a zero-width page either. :rolleyes:

Help? I know I’ve seen this in a tip somewhere… I just can’t find it now that I need it!

@AdamSeleneauthorDec 05.2003 — Well - I do actually have to send the data to a php scripted server page... I just don't want the server to send anything back! If I don't have the page output anythihg, it still changes the URL in the browser and shows a blank page. That's what I want to avoid - leave the old page up and just send the form back for processing. It can be a form or a href either one, just so I can send data back to a utility page that doesn't display.

Success!
