I need to submit a form without refreshing the page the form is being submited from?

<textarea name="message" cols="65" rows="10" id="message" ><?php echo $_GET['message'];?></textarea>
 <br />


  <input name="Submit" type="submit"  value="Send Message" target="_new" />

   </form>

can i ask, why you dont want to refresh

Well... it has a captcha form on it and if the user submits the wrong number, because it's inside a Prototype slider, the slider returns to the first section and the user doesn't know the number was wrong unless he scrolls back to the contact location.

I might just have to rethink the slider.

Sure you can. The easiest way is to do an ajax POST request. Prototype makes this dead easy:

You'll also need to serialize any data in your form, using the Form.serialize method:

PM me if you need any help.

lol, do whatever you do, never use prototype...you will use an atomic bom to kill a moskito

I use Jquery, it is super lightweight (about 30k minified) and makes ajax calls a cinch.

The reason I gave a prototype example was that he said he was already using it. So no reason to add another JS lib on top.
