Question

I am having a problem with trying to call a particular controller/method. I am trying to call myController/myMethod but instead my $_POST is being posted to myController only. I think that the reason why the $_POST is not working correctly is because of the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {          
    var $body = $('body'),
        $content = $('#content'),
        $form = $content.find('#loginform');
        $("input").uniform();       
        $form.wl_Form({
            status:false,
            onBeforeSubmit: function(data){
                $form.wl_Form('set','sent',false);
                if(data.username && data.password){
                    document.forms[0].submit();  // PROBLEM HERE
                }else{
                    $.wl_Alert('Enter password','warning','#content');
                }
                return false;
            }                             
        });         
        <?php if ($error_msg != ""): ?>
           $.wl_Alert('<?php echo $error_msg; ?>','info','#content');
        <?php endif; ?>
});  
</script>

I think that what is happening is that when there is data.username && data.password set, the form is being submitted but is not reaching the correct method that I need.

How can I modify the above javascript so that instead of submitting forms[0], the code should instead call myController/myMethod? Here is the form code showing the controller and method that I am trying to call:

<form name="login" action="<?php echo site_url(); ?>myController/myMethod" id="loginform" method="POST">

instead of

document.forms[0].submit();  // PROBLEM HERE

try and see what happens

document.login.action="<?php echo site_url(); ?>myController/myMethod";
document.login.submit();
