Classic form, how to submit to call a controller method? - El Forum - 06-07-2009

The title is a little weird Smile

I need to know if there is a best-practice/how to to handle the submit of a form with method=get to call a method of a controller.

An explanatory example:

in controller_A view i have:

Code:
&lt;form action="/controller_B/method/" method="get"&gt;

&lt;input name="foo" value="get_value"...

&lt;/form>

I need to reach

Code:
/controller_B/method/get_value

but with that submit i get

Code:
/controller_B/method/?foo=get_value

Is there a way to do this or i have to manage it in ajax?

Is there a reason you can't use normal POST?
The only other way to set get_value is when you define the form action, although you don't know the value at that point :-S
