Redirecting to a page after submitting form in HTML

Question

I'm fairly new to coding in HTML. After hours of searching the internet for a way to do this, I failed and so I'm here. I was setting up a CSRF Proof of concept page here, I want it to redirect to another page which will execute the payload that the CSRF had implemented.

So after this form is submitted using, all it does is redirect to this page

But instead of that, I want it to redirect to another URL as well as submit that form.

You need to use the jQuery AJAX or XMLHttpRequest() for post the data to the server. After data posting you can redirect your page to another page by window.location.href.

Example:

 var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
      window.location.href = 'https://website.com/my-account';
    }
  };
  xhttp.open("POST", "demo_post.asp", true);
  xhttp.send();

What you could do is, a validation of the values, for example:

if the value of the input of fullanme is greater than some value length and if the value of the input of address is greater than some value length then redirect to a new page, otherwise shows an error for the input.

// We access to the inputs by their id's
let fullname = document.getElementById("fullname");
let address = document.getElementById("address");

// Error messages
let errorElement = document.getElementById("name_error");
let errorElementAddress = document.getElementById("address_error");

// Form
let contactForm = document.getElementById("form");

// Event listener
contactForm.addEventListener("submit", function (e) {
  let messageName = [];
  let messageAddress = [];
  
    if (fullname.value === "" || fullname.value === null) {
    messageName.push("* This field is required");
  }

  if (address.value === "" || address.value === null) {
    messageAddress.push("* This field is required");
  }

  // Statement to shows the errors
  if (messageName.length || messageAddress.length > 0) {
    e.preventDefault();
    errorElement.innerText = messageName;
    errorElementAddress.innerText = messageAddress;
  }
  
   // if the values length is filled and it's greater than 2 then redirect to this page
    if (
    (fullname.value.length > 2,
    address.value.length > 2)
  ) {
    e.preventDefault();
    window.location.assign("https://www.google.com");
  }

});

.error {
  color: #000;
}

.input-container {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  margin: 1rem auto;
}


  
    
    
    Full name:
      
      
      
      
      
      Address:
