Is there anyway to submit a POST variable, with name, to another page? I.e. form submission, as IF a button were clicked, but without having to click a button.

There are many ways to do this - the easiest, library-free method probably being something like:

If your HTML looks like this (has at least the id, method, and action attributes)

<form id="myForm" method="post" action="post-target.php">
   <input type="hidden" name="username" value="username" />
</form>

You can submit the form via javascript like this: 

myForm = document.getElementById('myForm');
myForm.submit();

  • Yes, but I want the specific information contained in the button to be sent, too. I.e. I want to send a POST variable with the name "del" over to another page. – Steven Matthews Jan 31 '12 at 18:53

Yes: you could for example use jQuery to tie a JavaScript function to a button's onclick event. And then call the click() function on the button in the jQuery ready function.
