How can I submit a form to a third-party website without it causing the page to reload (i.e. in the background)?
For some background, I'm trying to programmatically log a user into their google account in the background.
I can programmatically log them in using the following:
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.innerHTML = FORM_HTML;
var form = div.getElementsByTagName("form")[0];
form.action = "https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLoginAuth";
form.GALX.value = FORM_GALX; // dynamically obtained using AJAX
form.Email.value = USER_EMAIL;
form.Passwd.value = USER_PASSWORD;
form.submit();
This logs me in and opens up my Google dashboard. How can I prevent form.action from redirecting me?
Please note that this div is never actually added to a document, which is preferable but not required.
