I'm making this form that, for now, redirects, a user to another page after submitting a form. However, after the user is redirected, the form fields pop up in the url. I'm a beginner and I was wondering on how I can keep the url path to just what I specified in the "action" attribute of the form. Here's my code
<div>
<form action="/test">
<input type="text" name="login-username" id="login-username" placeholder="Username" />
<input type="password" name="login-password" id="login-password" placeholder="Password" />
<input type="submit" name="login-submit-button" id="login-submit-button" />
</form>
</div>
After clicking the button, the url looks like this:
http://localhost:3000/test?login-username=&login-password=&login-submit-button=Submit
How can I keep it to just
http://localhost:3000/test
Thank you.. any help would be appreciated.
As mentioned clearly in this answer, default method of form on submit is GET with encoding of type x-www-form-urlencoded, which basically appends input data to the current URL.
Using method POST appends form-data inside the body of the HTTP request (data is not shown in URL).
