Passing values to next page using anchor tag

One quick question -

I have an anchor tag which on clicking opens a new target window.

I don't want to pass the values either in post or get method.

my html code is like this.

    <a class="employee_details" target="_blank" href="index1.php?name=username&id=123">UserName</a>

Is there a way to pass the values to the next page using jquery in a hidden type since there is no submit button. In other words, clicking the anchor tag will redirect to another one page where i should get the name and id and that part should NOT BE VISIBLE ANYWHERE in the url.

Any help Kimz

You said that you don't want anything in the url to be shown except from page name so why not using a form with psot method? Post will not show anything in the browser and you won't have to deal with sessions/cookies which require more work.

From documentation

  • POST requests are never cached
  • POST requests do not remain in the browser history
  • POST requests cannot be bookmarked
  • POST requests have no restrictions on data length
<form method="post" action="index1.php">
  <input type="hidden" name="name" value="username" />
  <input type="hidden" name="username" value="123" />
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /> 
</form>

Now in your second page you just need to retrieve data you need throw variable $_POST['name'] and $_POST['username']. You can also make your submit button look like a link with some css.

Try this, this includes a href tag and onclick does call javascript function.

<html>
<body>
<form action ="b.php" id="testform" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="username" />
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="123" />
</form>
<a class="employee_details" onclick="test()">UserName</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
function test()
{
document.forms.testform.submit();
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

You can use the session variable to pass the value from one page to another page.
