Better use ajax for this ..
here is an example.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#submit-btn').click(function() {
$.ajax({
type:'POST', //POST or GET depending if you want to use _GET or _POST in php
url:'your-page.php', //Effectively the form action, where it goes to.
data:$('#txtName').val(), //The data to send to the page (Also look up form serialise)
success:function(e) {
// On success this fill fire, depends on the return you will use in your page.
}
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
<form>
<input type="text" id="txtName" />
<input type="submit" id="submit-btn" value="Send" />
</form>
Hope it works for u.
