Hey everyone,

Just started learning jQuery (Javascript too, essentially) this week.

Right now, I’m trying to make a “clean” form just using DOM objects (spans, divs, etc.) and and have jQuery assign variables onclick, etc., and then submit the form with post - just like a regular form would.

(I didn’t want to use radio buttons, etc. and effectively make the form ugly.)

I’ve use .post before in jQuery, but that just posts the info to another page - it doesn’t redirect the user to that page as well (which is what I want).

Can this be done?

Thanks 🙂
