Question

I have a form created in HTML that posts to an external domain

<form method="post" action="someExternalDomain.com/submit">

I want to submit it with this (I can’t use JQuery because of the same-origin policy) but capture the response from the server using JQuery. How would I do this?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can’t post cross-domain without CORS, and jQuery can’t access the response unless it is done with jQuery.ajax or an iframe, both of which are limited by the same-origin policy.

If you do wish to implement CORS, it also takes some other modifications to make it work in all versions of IE.
