Re: [cgiapp] Trying to understand how CGI::App works

["petersm" <suppressed>]

If you just want to hide the parameter in the url you can just use a form's
'post' method instead of get. If you want to do this from a link instead of a
form then you can create a form with no visible elements and then submit it
with a javascript link. Something kinda like this

<form action='index.cgi' method='post' id='myForm'>
<input type='hidden' name='myParam' value='blah...'>
</form>

...
then something like this

<a href="javascript:document.forms['myForm'].submit()">Click Me</a>


Was this what you were asking?
