prettycode / submitForm.js
Last active December 16, 2015 07:49
Use this function to submit an HTML form without actually having a form on the page. Instead of an existing form, pass the function a *flat* JavaScript object with the form values to submit. This is a synchronous operation; the browser loads the response as its new window location. Requests with "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded".
var submitForm = function(config) {
if (!config) {
throw new Error();
}
else {
config.method = config.method || 'post';
config.data = config.data || {};
config.url = config.url || (function() {
throw new Error('Missing required `url` argument');
