I have been using the post method to login a “Guest” user to another site, like in the following:
<form action="http://example.com/login.asp" method="post" target="_blank">
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="Guest" />
<input type="hidden" name="password" value="0000"/>
<input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Login" />
</form>
I need now to avoid this method and I wish to use the get method instead, like in the following:
Login as Guest
I reach the page and the username and password values are on, but I cannot find what is missing to achieve the login without the need of clicking a button by the user. In other words, the user by clicking the link should be logged in with no further action. Is there any way?
Please advice.
in http://example.com/login.asp at beginning just check username and password is present or not and all others what you want and then logged them in and finaly one thing when you using form then your method is POST but when you go through anchor link then method is GET it's not POST and I think you miss this..

I am trying to create a search box on my site. However when someone clicks "search" or presses "enter/return". I want a separate tab to open with the search results from a different site to be displayed.
Example:
My site: www.example.com
# using another answer on stackoverflow
# I have tried a lot of different action urls.
# the website url to which I want to send the search:
<form method="get" action="website.com/?searchTerm">
<input type="text" name="searchTerm"/>
</form>
When I try to demo it using the above and press enter, I simply go to the website i.e. website.com/?searchTerm not the results page.
Another approach I thought might work is to replace the searchTerm in the url of the results page of the website when Enter or button is clicked on www.example.com using a tags.
You can use the target attribute on the form tag.
Don’t forget to inform your users, including screen reader users, that the action will open a new tab.
If you use the GET method, input names and values are going to be passed as query parameters. So <input name="searchTerm" value="test"> will become ?searchTerm=test in the requested URL.
get: The GET method; form data appended to the action URL with a ? separator. Use this method when the form has no side-effects.
<form method="get" target="_blank" action="https://example.com/SearchDisplay">
<label>Search Term
<input type="search" name="searchTerm">
</label>
<button type="submit">Search (opens in new tab)</button>
</form>
The above code would not work in an interactive stack snippet, because it would be inside an iframe.
For your search to actually work with the target site
If you inspect the search form on your target website, you’ll notice they use SearchDisplay as the action. Additionally, they include a bunch of hidden fields in their form. You will need to figure out which ones to include in your form as well, for your query to not get blocked.
Beware, though, that this are implementation details of the target shop, not a stable search API like OpenSearch. So it might change at any time, and your search form will no longer work.
The form code from the target website:
<form accept-charset="UTF-8" name="CatalogSearchForm" action="SearchDisplay" method="get" id="searchForm" class="searchForm">
<div class="search-input-wrapper" role="group" aria-label="...">
<div class="search-input-field">
<input type="hidden" name="storeId" value="5451206" id="WC_CachedHeaderDisplay_FormInput_storeId_In_CatalogSearchForm_1">
<input type="hidden" name="catalogId" value="10002" id="WC_CachedHeaderDisplay_FormInput_catalogId_In_CatalogSearchForm_1">
<input type="hidden" name="langId" value="-3" id="WC_CachedHeaderDisplay_FormInput_langId_In_CatalogSearchForm_1">
<input type="hidden" name="pageSize" value="10" id="WC_CachedHeaderDisplay_FormInput_pageSize_In_CatalogSearchForm_1">
<input type="hidden" name="beginIndex" value="0" id="WC_CachedHeaderDisplay_FormInput_beginIndex_In_CatalogSearchForm_1">
<input type="hidden" name="sType" value="SimpleSearch" id="WC_CachedHeaderDisplay_FormInput_sType_In_CatalogSearchForm_1">

So as you can tell /b/ is where my PHPBB3 forums are located. The first link referenced is a direct link to my web site.
I would like to take the Login / Password box from PHPBB3 and essentially place it directly below the header video that I made. I simply do not know how to achieve this.
I've done lots of good searching.
maybe similar this code help you but phpbb use form token that should post to the action url by username and password for login.
if you can get form token from phpbb login is possible.
<form action="http://thefwf.xyz/b/ucp.php?mode=login" method="post">
<input type="text" name="username">
<input type="text" name="password">
<input type="hidden" name="form_token" value="[ form token ]">
<button type="submit">login</button>
</form>
I've been working on having a form where a user can input a subreddits name in a input form and be taken to it, but not been working out well. I've tried using get and name="q" but it makes the address funky.
What I have so far:
<form method="post" action="http://www.reddit.com/r/" style="margin-left:5px;margin-right:5px;margin-bottom:0px;">
<input class="form-control" value="" placeholder="Subreddit Name">
</form>
If you're not getting what i'm trying to do: A user types text into an input, the text they typed would be sent to an address as reddit.com/r/(whatever the user typed)
Not knowing from your question whether or not you have access to server-side coding, and based on your answers in the comments, the following should work for you. Note that if a browser has JavaScript disabled, this will bring the user directly to http://www.redit.com/r/
If you have access to server-side scripting, you could add a catch on your server as well to avoid this.
<form method="post" onsubmit="document.location='http://www.reddit.com/r/'+document.getElementById('subredditname').value;return false;" action="http://www.reddit.com/r/" style="margin-left:5px;margin-right:5px;margin-bottom:0px;">
<input id="subredditname" class="form-control" value="" placeholder="Subreddit Name">
</form>
You can do this easily with PHP.
User types text into input field
<input type="text" name="user_text" />
After form submit, run PHP code
$page = $_POST['user_text'];
//send user to website
header('Location: http://reddit.com/r/' . $page);
I want visitors to my website to be able to search for airport lounges offered by a company called Priority Pass. I have created the following form:
<form action="http://prioritypass.com/lounges/lounge-print.cfm" method="post">
<input type="text" id="print_airport_code" name="print_airport_code" value="MAN" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
Which mirrors the form they have on their own mobile search site (here). But when I submit my form it doesnt seem like the parameters are being posted properly.
Any help would be great. Thanks.
The form on their website doesnt appear to contain any fields which I have missed?
You're pointing to the wrong URL; POSTing to /lounges/lounge-print.cfm is producing an HTTP redirect header, which is corrupting your output.
Additionally, the name of your input field is incorrect. Using someone else's form results often requires you to maintain all field names consistently as they appear on the remote site.
Change the form to:
<form action="http://www.prioritypass.com/mobile/lounges.cfm" method="post">
<input id="Airport_Code" name="Airport_Code" type="text" size="10" value="MAN" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
I have this form:
<form name="input" action="http://s164074194.onlinehome.us/mail.py" method="POST">
Username:
<input type="text" name="email" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
On submission, the mail.py script is called and the user is redirected to its output...
I'd like the user to just stay on the same page as the form, right now when I click submit on the form I'm redirected to mail.py, which is on another site. Is it possible to disable this redirect action and instead just invoke the script?
Thanks
As #josh mentioned, you probably want to submit the form via AJAX, but if the script is on another site, then I don't think you will be able to do that.
Probably your best bet is to have a hidden iframe with the real form that gets submitted, and when the user clicks the button on the visible form, some javascript copies the field values to the hidden form, and submits it.
You might also be able to just specify a target on the form to be the hidden iframe, and not worry about the javascript part, but I haven't tried it.
Submit it via AJAX.
One solution would be to have mail.py redirect the browser to a different page once it has finished running whatever functions with the form data.
I'm not sure of the situation you have but if you don't have access to edit mail.py then perhaps you can get a local copy of it if possible.
If Possible then write a name same name in "action='current_filename'"
<form name="input" action="current_file_name" method="POST">
Username:
<input type="text" name="email" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
