Question

I have a simple form like:

<form action="" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="user" id="user" class="txt" value="Account" />
    <input type="password" name="pw" id="pw" class="txt" value="Password" />
  <div class="alignleft">
    <a href="#">Forgot?</a>
  </div>
  <div class="alignright">
    <input type="submit" name="login" class="login" value="Login" />
  </div>

This form will log people into their control panel (we hold no sensitive data and we know there are better ways to login) but anyway they are not in a database, they login by simply following a URL like this:

http://www.example.com/user?user=USERNAME?pwrd=PASSWORD

So is the user follows that URL replacing the user and password with their own it will log them in.

How can I make my HTML form post the data to a URL and take them to the URL when they click submit?

Thanks!

Answer 1

<form action="yoururl.com/url" method="get">
That uses a query string for the form submission.
