Not if you want to use a method="POST". If however you are using method="GET", then we could possibly rewrite the form so that it doesn't use the action and method attributes but just changes the location using JavaScript, but with the form name-value pairs tacked on the end as if we had sent the form using method="GET":
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!-- function sendform() { if (document.images) location.replace('http://www.somewhere.com/test.cgi' + '?' + 'myText=' + escape(document.myForm.myText.value)); else location.href = 'test.cgi' + '?' + 'myText=' + escape(document.myForm.myText.value); return false; } //--></SCRIPT> <FORM NAME="myForm" onSubmit="return sendform()"> <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="myText" VALUE="sample"> <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="send"> </FORM>
Note: in Opera replace() will work, but only with absolute URL's.
