on the first request to:
www.mysite.com/clickPage?p=100
the page was loaded and then:
1. based on "p=100" I do consuming calculation to calculate
"calculatedValue"
2. now, I create the form, having "calculatedValue" as HiddenField. (I dont
need the state "p" anymore for next steps)
When submitting the form, page is called again (for second time), but now,
the value of "p" is not relevant anymore (it could also be many "p"'s like:
"p1", "p2", ... , "p100").
I want to handle the "post" request, and for that I need only
"calculatedValue" I dont care about "p" now.
But because the way Click works, I have to construct the FORM again so
"onSubmit" will be executed. why should I ? I am not going to render the
form again, I just want to process the "onSubmit" call and then decide to
redirect to somewhere else. (in other words, I dont need the data the I
needed before to construct the form)
