Hi,
I want to load grid based on some user inputs. I want to access form data using POST mathod (not using query string).
Could you pls give me some samples to achive this functionality?

Since dhtmlxGrid 2.0 you can use dhtmlxgrid_post.js extension. This extension will add post() method, which can be used same as grid.load, but will use POST instead of get

grid.post(url)
grid.post(url,post_string)
grid.post(url,post_string,call)
grid.post(url,post_string,call,type)
grid.post(url,post_string,type)

Where do we get documentation for what each argument is for??

Also, is there a different “flavor” of this that can be used instead of datagGrid.clearAndLoad(url) so that a post is used for that as well? I’m in serious need to get the post approach working. Thank.

Parameters of post() method are the same as at load() method.

You can use following code:

grid.clearAll();
grid.post(url);

Thanks.

While I confess to being less knowledgable in such matters than you folks, the post method appears to not work as desired. Arguments passed are still appearing in PHP’s $_GET collection, not the $_POST collection. As a result, my original problem remains (unable to support url strings > 2000+ characters).

Can you offer some advice on this?
