form button onclick and hide result

[Daniel H.]

Problem: I want to send an URL via button but i don't want to get the result.

At the moment i use this form to send the URL, which enables a control unit:
<form><input type=button value="switch on"
onclick="location='cgi-bin/writeVal.exe?PLCO2+0';"></form>

As result i see a new page with "0" or "1", which i'd like to hide.
What can i do to send the URL without getting the result to the browser ?

Thanks,

You could write the value to a cookie and retrieve it on the next page, but at
some point the browser still has to know what the value is that is being written.

And before you refer someone to Google, why not refer them to the
HTTPRequest references in the FAQ?

I believe it's somewhat out of date now, and may not even be correct
for Mozilla (and safari?)
