You forgot to enclose the form method in quotes. method=post should be method="post". Also, your closing title tag is missing the '<' character.

Such a form can be used for phishing. Even if that's not your intention, you shouldn't encourage users to submit their usernames and passwords of other sites. |

That's not always necessary (except in XHTML), though it's good practice: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.2 QUOTE Also, your closing title tag is missing the '<' character. Yes that made the whole page appear empty in my browsers. |

I will make sure this is not being exploited. |

That sounds like you are doing something more than this, and maybe this is what isn't working. Because if all you do is log in to the other site, your employees surely would see the other site. |

no, i have overcome that by using a iframe, that displays only part of the webpage.

What was the final verdict? Does the form work now or are you still having problems? If you are having problems then please explain what it is.

I just noticed a couple more problems. In the form action attribute you forgot the ':' in the http//www.othersite.com/index.php part of the URL. In the account sign up link you need to place the entire URL in the href attribute, not just the query string.

No, the form doesn't work, Pandy user said, the users may see the page even if they login, for that i said, i am using iframe. The form is not working. The form does not submit data to the page, instead it just redirects to the login page of the original site. |

Sounds like you still need to make the other corrections I mentioned. The missing ':' in the href will cause the page to submit to the same domain you are running the sign in page from with the http// part tacked on to the end of the URL. The same thing will happen if you click the create account link.

Well, I just tested the page and when I click the 'Sign In' button I'm taken to your fake URL 'http://www.othersite.com/index.php'. Of course I get a 404 error because it is a fake address but it should work. Here is a corrected copy of your code, try it out and let me know what happens.
CODE <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title></title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/main.css" type="text/css" media="print, projection, screen"> </head> <body> <center> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> <div style="border:1px solid #000000;background:#EEEEEE;padding-top:15px;padding-bottom:5px;width:350px;"> <font size=+2>Sign In Form</font><br> <form method="post" action="http://www.othersite.com/index.php"> <input type="hidden" name="action" value="logon"> <table border=0> <tr> <td>Username:</td> <td><input name="username" type="text" size=30></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Password:</td> <td><input name="password" type="password" size=30></td> </tr> <td></td> <td align="left"><input type=submit value="Sign In"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan=2><font size=-1>Don't have an Account ?</font> <a href="http://www.othersite.com/index.php?action=newuser"><font size=-1 color="#0000EE">Sign UP Now !</font></a></td> </tr> </table> </form> </div> <br> </center> </body> </html> This is what the submit URL looks like without the ':' correction: CODE file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/CharlesEF/Desktop/http//www.othersite.com/index.php This is what the 'Sign UP Now' link looks like without the addition of the 'http://www.othersite.com/' part before the query string: CODE file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/CharlesEF/Desktop/temp.htm?action=newuser Notice how the 2 href's are just tacked on to my local computer? Once I made the last 2 corrections the URL's pointed to your fake URL address. This post has been edited by CharlesEF: Dec 5 2014, 03:52 PM |
