I tried doing this completely from JavaScript w/o html. We'll say for my purposes.. this is the way I need it done. Any suggestions how to declare the form w/o html <form> tags?

<html>
<script language="javascript">
function test() {
document.form[0].action="from.asp";
document.form[0].method="post";
document.form[0].name="Stephen";
document.form[0].age=17;
doucment.form[0].submit();
}
</script>
<a href="javascript:test();">Hello</a>
</html>

this returns the error:
Error: 'document.form.0' is null or not an object

If my sources (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/obj_document.asp) are correct, the collection should be

document.forms[0]

not

document.form[0]

I concur, forms, not form.

You aren't going to do it without <form> tags on your page, if you didn't want to use the POST method you could simulate it but POST is going to require a form. That shouldn't be a problem though because you can use hidden fields on the form instead of visible fields so your whole form is hidden from the user's view.
