Post Script

We include our ‘core’ library, in the header


    <script src="../Include/Core.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
          

Post Script is similar to Grab Script, but acts as a form submission, rather than a hyperlink.

ssPostScript submits a form, but its response is returned as a piece of script which is run instantly.

The id of the form is passed in as a parameter.


    ssPostScript("frmMain");
          
  • The target page is extracted from the "action" property of the form.
  • The form is submitted as a ‘post’, so the target page needs to pull in form items, not query strings.
  • Unlike ssGrabScript and ssGetScript this does not add a script element to the head of the document. It runs the code using setTimeout, and its response is shown in Firebug’s Console, not its HTML tab.
