Submit() only some variables in JS

[jcvel]

Hi All:
1. Is there any way of submitting only several variables froma form in
JS ?
I have some constraints in the server side, so I would like to have a
button and when clicked, submit only certain variables.
2. Creating a new form changes my formatting. Is there a way of
creating a form and superimposing it on top of another ?

Yes I am new to JS. Thanks for your help

You cannot submit a clientside variable, only it's content. [semantics]

Done by a "superimposter"??

You can make a second hidden form,
copy the data you want to submit into that,
and submit that form with javascript.

Probably first learn some js on simpler tasks?

Come to think of it,
just do not give those <input>
a name and it won't be submitted,
no js necessary.

<form>
<input name='sendMe' value='myData'><br>
<input value='DataNoToBeSent'><br>
<input type='submit' value='a button'>
</form>

Or set "disabled=true " for the ones you don't want to submit.
I'd add "id" attributes to Evertjan's form:

<form>
<input name='sendMe' value='myData' id="sendme"><br>
<input value='DataNoToBeSent' id="datano"><br>
<input type='submit' value='a button'>
</form>

Then if you want to submit only sendme, run this statement before
submitting:

document.getElementById("sendme").disabled = true;
