I've used DNN for a lot of things, and this time I'm making a prayer request page on my church's site. We are calling it a "Prayer Wall" because after a request is made in a form, it is approved by a moderator and then put on the page in a DNN Report module in a list with all the other requests. 

So here is the question.

 I am creating the html for the report in a SQL server stored procedure and I want to put a button in the report for each line in the report that when clicked would send a silent http post to a Dynamic Forms module on another page that would run an action on the line of data (prayer request). The actions would be either to approve it or delete it, and there are some other actions too. I have all those pieces worked out. The buttons, the form and the actions. What I need help with is how to send an http post from my button or link.

From what I learned so far, I think I need to write a javascript function and put it on the page somewhere - possibly in the report header, and then call the function from the links while passing the correct parameters.

Do I have it right? Has anyone done some tips for me? I have seen javascript code for sending an http post but I don't know what to do with the script or where to put it or how to call it. I'm a quick study so if you can point me in the right direction I would very much appreciate it!

Thanks Cathal, but I don't understand. Email is not involved. I need a button on each row of a DNN Reoprts module. And the button will do an httppost.

Michael and Cathal, thank you both for your help. I just worked this out by using a link in the report that runs a line of javascript like this:

"a name="mycounter" onclick="jQuery.ajax({url: 'http://MyURL?Action=IncrementCount&SPost=True&ID=MyRecordID)'})"

the SPost parameter is interpreted as a silent post by the dymamic forms module that is receiving this communication so the user is not moved from the page they were on when they clicked the link.

I just formatted the link like a button with a css class.

Thank you for your suggestions!
