How to make a GET request from Javascript?

[kothapalli]

Hi,

We can make a POST from Javascript as follows:

document.formName.action="TaskEditor?param1=value1";
document.formName.submit();

when my form is defined as follows:
<FORM name="formName" METHOD="POST">

But when I make the GET request as foloows by changing ,
document.formName.action="TaskEditor?param1=value1";
document.formName.submit();

with my form definition as follows:
<FORM name="formName" METHOD="GET">

it does not work.

The param1 is not going with the request . I'm testing on IE 6.0. Any ideas?

It's probably because the GET request from the form is overriding the parameter you are passing on the form's action. You should be able to create a hidden input field, assign it the value, and it will then be passed on the URL.
