Can I do a "post" action on success of Ajax

Question

I have the below code:

$.ajax({
    type: "post",
    url: "./api/v1/bluemix/auth",
    data: datas,
    success: function(data){

            var successUrl = "CreateBluemixMonkey.jsp"; 
            window.location.href = successUrl + "?data=" + newdata ;

                },
                error: function(jqXHR,error, errorThrown) {
                 alert("Error");

                }
}) 

After a successful AJAX call, I am setting window.location.href. Instead, can I do another post to the same JSP? I am trying to use hidden values but I doubt since there is no post method. I am getting all hidden field values as null in CreateBluemixMonkey.jsp.

You could create a on the page with some hidden inputs and then invoke the submit-method. This way you generate a POST-Request instead of a GET-Request, which is generated from the window.location.href code line.

If possible, just create a static on your page which is hidden, preferably by setting 'display: none;' as CSS-Style. Then give the form-tag an ID and run $('#form-id').submit(); in your success-function.
