Backend form post method

form post

[ureshiman]

Would need any expert's advice on how do i trigger a form post without activating the browser?

Actual situation
================
I would wish to peform the following 2 operations in the current cgi (cgi is currently executed at broswer end). This would mean creating 2 concurrent processing threads.

1) Backend form post to an executable, passing some hidden fields.

2) Display a waiting message over the browser.

Need a solution urgently! Please help. Thanks a lot.

you might be able to pull off some trickery using javascript and frames (if I understand your question). Note I say "might". But don't aks me how to do it, I don't know how. It sounds very strange to have a requirement to do something like this.
