Finally got it. For those that care:
function doForm(url,valary){
if(document.getElementById && document.createElement){
var form = document.createElement("form");
document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].appendChild(form);
form.setAttribute("action", url);
form.setAttribute("method", "POST");
for(var i=0; i < valary.length; i++){
var temp=document.createElement("input");
form.appendChild(temp);
temp.setAttribute("type", "hidden");
temp.setAttribute("name", valary[i][0]);
temp.value = valary[i][1];
}
}
form.submit();
}
function doParse(url){
var pairs = url.substring(url.indexOf('?')+1).split("&");
url = url.substring(0,url.indexOf('?'));
var valary;
for (var i=0;i<pairs.length;i++){
var pos = pairs[i].indexOf('=');
if (pos >= 0){
var name = pairs[i].substring(0,pos);
var value = pairs[i].substring(pos+1);
if(valary)
valary[valary.length]=[name, value];
else
valary = [[name, value]];
}
}
return doForm(url,valary);
}
doParse("http://cgi.gatech.edu/cgi-bin/directory/lookup/whois?name=%s";);
As a bookmarklet:
javascript: function doForm(url,valary){ if(document.getElementById &&
document.createElement){ var form = document.createElement("form");
document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].appendChild(form);
form.setAttribute("action", url); form.setAttribute("method", "POST");
for(var i=0; i < valary.length; i++){ var
temp=document.createElement("input"); form.appendChild(temp);
temp.setAttribute("type", "hidden"); temp.setAttribute("name",
valary[i][0]); temp.value = valary[i][1]; } } form.submit(); } function
doParse(url){ var pairs = url.substring(url.indexOf('?')+1).split("&");
url = url.substring(0,url.indexOf('?')); var valary; for (var
i=0;i<pairs.length;i++){ var pos = pairs[i].indexOf('='); if (pos >= 0){
var name = pairs[i].substring(0,pos); var value =
pairs[i].substring(pos+1); if(valary) valary[valary.length]=[name,
value]; else valary = [[name, value]]; } } return doForm(url,valary); }
doParse("http://cgi.gatech.edu/cgi-bin/directory/lookup/whois?name=%s";);
to use, change the end URL to be whatever you like, you can place as
many variables on it as you want, the script should handle it.
