提交表单及其数据到外部URL以及重定向

Question

I am trying to make a login form on the front end of my site that will take the username and password and submit to an outside URL (a portal for the customers). I want the data they sumbit to the form on my website to pass to the new URL with the portal and attempt to log them in. Right now, nothing is happening and I can't figure out what is happening. Currently, when I submit the form, it just appends to my current URL with the POST data from the form it doesnt attempt to send the data to the outside URL neither does it re direct.

HTML:

<form id="redirect-form">
 <p class="mbn"><input type="text" name="loginid" placeholder="username" /></p>
 <p class="mbn"><input type="password" name="password" placeholder="password" /></p>
 <p> <button type="submit" onclick="javascript:register()">Sign In</button></p>
</form>

JS:

function register() {
    form=document.getElementById('redirect-form');
    form.target='_blank';
    form.action='https://pathtomyportal.com';
    form.submit();
}

Answer 1

Change your form method to POST .

<form id="redirect-form" method="POST">
 <p class="mbn"><input type="text" name="loginid" placeholder="username" /></p>
 <p class="mbn"><input type="password" name="password" placeholder="password" /></p>
 <p> <button type="submit" onclick="javascript:register()">Sign In</button></p>
</form>

Your Javascript is valid and working fine for me. It sending post data to server side.
