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.
