javascript & the post

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 25.2004

Hi Guys:

I am new to javascript. Can someone point me to some online tutorials
on how to retrieve values sent to a web page via a post using javascript?

Also, is it possible to pass from one page to another values such as single variables and arrays – instead of using the standard method such as input type = “text” name = “dude” ect

Lastly, I use perl a lot. One of the problems I am having at present is getting perl on the server to talk to javascript – client side. I would like to retrieve values from a mysql database using perl – the easy part – “pass those values back to an html page to javascript” the hard part

@CharlesJul 25.2004 — JavaScript runs in something not unlike a sandbox; its ability to interact with the outside world is severly and intentionally limited.

And not everybody does or even can use JavaScript. So, you can't rely upon it. Do everything important in Perl and save JavaScript for the bells and whistles.

Success!
