smart.form submitOptions problem

[jqwidgetsdev]

Hi,

In the method POST example below, why would the form variables appear in the browser URL? That is what I would expect with method = GET

form.submitOptions = {
            async: true,
            action: "<omitted>",
            target: "",
            method: "POST"
        };

form.submit()

Really I don’t want the form to refresh at all. Is there a way to achieve this?
Also please clarify what target determines the submit target means.

Thank you.

Hi,

There is no such property ‘submitOptions’. You may set the method, action and target in the form tag as attributes.
Here is an example of that: https://codepen.io/svetoslavb04/pen/oNMEoXN

Hi Svetoslav,

Thanks for the example, I understand it now.

BTW the reason I arrived at

form.submitOptions = {
            async: true,
            action: "<omitted>",
            target: "",
            method: "POST"
        };

is because of this https://www.htmlelements.com/docs/form-api/

submit( submitOptions?: any): void
Submits the form.

Arguments
submitOptions?any
Sets the submit options object. The object may have the following properties: async, action, target, method. async determines whether the form will be submitted asynchronously. action determines the submit url, method sets whether the submit is through 'GET' or 'POST'. target determines the submit target.

Maybe the documentation can be updated?

Best regards.

Hi,

These options can be passed to the ‘submit’ method, not to the form itself

I hope your problem is now resolved!
