so essentially what you are doing is creating a temp file which
contains a form with all the information you need. You use
widget.openURL to open the temp file, and then I am assuming you are
using javascript to form.submit()?
Clever.
Beats my solution which was to submit the form via XMLHttpRequest,
return a token or session id, then use widget.openURL to open a script
that would access the form info using the token or session id.

I dealt with this issue a while back, the solution I ended up
using involved
writing a temp file to disk which mimics the "<form>" code from
the original
html source and then opens the temp file in safari.
The final code is in the current version of my widget: "Jack of
All Widgets"
(in the Search category of Apple's dashboard downloads). It saves the
temporary html file in "/tmp". If you run one of the "post"
searches, like
gas price watch, and then look in /tmp you can see a sample of
what the
widget produces.
hope this helps,

I wanted to have my widget be able to launch a browser window and

along information when it does so. The easiest way would be to use
the
get method:
widget.openURL('http://www.domain.com?name=val');
but I was wondering if its possible to use post information when
openning a
url?
Thanks
