form POST values using ajax

[mfaisalwarraich]

I am trying to get values posted by a form using ajax but i dont know how to get them. im opening a form which is also based on the ajax. here is the code.

function showPage(page)
{
var url=page;
//url=url+"?q="+page;
//url=url+"&sid="+Math.random();
 
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
    {
    document.getElementById("container").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
  }
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
 

the above code is just taking a url and displaying it into div. when im displaying a form using showPage('form. php'), the form is displayed correctly. im using the same function on the form action='showPag e('submit.php') and method='post' but this is not posting any data. please tell me wat im doing wrong and how i can get the posted data without defining any variables in the javascript. thanx

the form code is as follows:

<div id="admForm">
<form name="form1"  action="javascript:showPage('admission-form.php')" method="post">
<input type="text" name="username" />
<input type="password" name="password" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</div>
