Passing data to aspx page from htm page via iframe

I have a htm page where I need to pass some data to an aspx page as a means
of sending data to the database. I don't need to see the aspx page so I was
going to put it in a hidden iframe. This works real good. Since I don't
need the aspx page to do any postback, is there a way to pass a parameter to
it with out it finishing the round trip back to the htm page?

Thanks.

What about AJAX?
 
Thanks for Alexey's input.

Hi Moondaddy,

Yes, using inner html frame is one means, you can simply reset the Iframe's
url(through "window.location =...... " script statement). Here are some
articles mentioned about the iframe location/url or refresh it through
script:

Or as Alexey mentioned, you can also use AJAX approach(use XMLhttp
component) to send GET request to another page programmatically:

In addition, for passing values/parameters, I sugguest you use querystring.
Thus, you can simply append them in url string.
