HTML/Middle-click/Security question...

[Madison Kelly]

Hi all,

   For security reasons, on a site I am writing I have made it so that 
you cannot pass variables in the URL (ie: 
http://domain.com/cgi-bin/script.cgi?foo=bar&baz=boo fails). I do this 
by only allowing variables to be passed via a form by checking that the 
script was called via a POST instead of a GET command before CGI 
variables are read.

   So for the search engine portion I return each result as a small form 
with the title of the search result being the submit button. I use CSS 
to make it look like regular text. I do this because I want the site to 
work without javascript. Given the ever-growing number of 
javascript-based security flaws coming out these days I know many more 
people are turning off JS in their browser (like my b/f, for example).

   So this brings me to my question:

   How can I make a click-able search result that sends a POST to the 
server, works without javascript and supports middle-clicking to open 
the search result in a new tab?

   Currently, with the scheme I have, you can't middle-click on the 
result at all because it is a form 'submit' button (but looks like 
normal text). This is really not good, given that middle-clicking on 
search results is a big sell for tabbed browsers. :)

   Any ideas/suggestions/pointers will be *much* appreciated!

   A stumped Madison.

PS - In case it's relevant, I am using Perl/Apache2/PostgreSQL8.1
