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');

Generate HTML from JavaScript object literals.

// TODO strict mode (no '\n' or padding) to allow for significant whitespace (e.g. for <pre>, <textarea>)
var toHTML = function(value, name, indent) {
var pad = new Array((indent = indent || 0)).join(' ');
