JavaScript Forum

hi all,

I'd like to create a login script (for plesk control panel), where there would be 3 fields.

1. Website URL
2. Username
3. Password

and I'd like the Username&Password Post data send to the websiteurl:8443
is it possible to do this with javascript?

If you have access to the script page, why not just hard-code it into the form?
<form action="http://www.mysite.com:8443/submit.php" ...

or is this a page for multiple sites? In that case you could do something like this:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

	<head>
		<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
		<title>Untitled Page</title>
		<script type="text/javascript"><!--
function submitForm() {
	this.action = "http://" + this.theSite.value + ":8443/" + this.action;
}

window.onload = function() {
	document.FormName.onsubmit = submitForm;
}
//-->
</script>
	</head>

	<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
		<form id="FormName" action="submit.php" method="get" name="FormName">
			Website URL: <input type="text" name="theSite" value="www.mysite.com" size="24">
			<p>Username: <input type="text" name="u" size="24"></p>
			<p>Password: <input type="password" name="p" size="24"></p>
			<p><input type="submit" name="submitButtonName"></p>
		</form>
		<p></p>
	</body>

</html>

Works fine for me in FF. Though FF returns the whole form action url (http://www.site.com/script.php instead of just script.php) so you'll have to hand-code the destination script:

Code:

this.action = "http://" + this.theSite.value + ":8443/process.php";

Though I think you should really use a server-side code, so that it's not javascript dependent.
