Tabbar.setContentHref url size limitation

Is there a way to do a post via "hidden" form and target the response to one of the tabs in our tabbar? We are concerned about the setContentHref call since there is a url limitation. We may need to pass a lot more data than the browser supports via a get.

The only possible solution I found that may work is:
using AJAX do a Post of a "hidden" form with the hidden form fields
Then in the callback from the post call tabbar.setContentHTML with the html response.

Will this work? Or is there a better way?

thanks,
carmine

The solution, that you've found, is really good and the most appropriate in this case.

You can use dhtmlxAjax component:

dhtmlxAjax.post(url,"param1=value&param2=value&...",outputResponse);

function outputResponse(loader){
  if(loader.xmlDoc.responseXML!=null)
  tabbar.setContentHTML(tabId,loader.doSerialization());
}
