title: JQuery: Convert GET URL to POST
body: <p>what's the easiest way to convert a GET URL string to POST in jQuery?</p>
  
  <p>e.g. I want the params of a link</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;a href="/somepage?x=1&amp;amp;y=3" id="postlink"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to be submitted as POST onclick if javascript is activated. No AJAX, just normal form submitting.</p>
  
  <p>Any Ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Hannes.</p>
