How to submit data to another form?

I have one form on one page and another on another website. How do i submit the data filled out on the first form to the other?
This is the code i have.
<form action="/action_page.php" method="get">
First name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lname"><br>
Comments: <input type="text" name="comments"><br>
<button type="submit">Submit</button><br>
<button type="submit" formaction="http://www.example.com/formresult.asp")>Submit to another Form</button>
</form>
Ok so i want my users to fill out one form, but have the option to send to another form.
The reason i need this because i have different HELP DESK support teams. INSTEAD of a number of different contact forms on a lot of html pages in my directory, i want to just have the option to send to anyone of my HELP DESK support team from one form. ALL THE FORMS are the same, the PHP files are the same. The EMAIL addresses are the only thing different for each team member.
The OPTION to send to a URL is also helpful. I read it is called 'An absolute URL ' and 'A relative URL' as Attribute Values, but i think i am coding it wrong, it will not work for me.
type="submit" formaction="http://www.example.com/form.php")>Submit to another Form
If i can get some help by an example on the code i will need to do both of these actions - i can start to test my new gaming clan website live.
Thanks in advance
Please advise

Try this you have to change the attributes for action tag on each button click. I have change submit type in to button and placed a hidden input type as submit. hope this help you to move on.
<form action="/action_page.php" method="get" id="myForm">
First name:
<input type="text" name="fname">
<br>
Last name:
<input type="text" name="lname">
<br>
Comments:
<input type="text" name="comments">
<br>
<input type="submit" name="sub" id="sub" style="display:none;">
<button type="button" onClick="javascript:document.getElementById('myForm').setAttribute('action','action_page.php'); javascript:document.getElementById('sub').click();">Submit</button>
<br>
<button type="button" onClick="javascript:document.getElementById('myForm').setAttribute('action','http://www.example.com/formresult.asp'); javascript:document.getElementById('sub').click();">Submit to another Form</button>
<br>
</form>

I think your problem is in the
<form action="/action_page.php" method="get">
You should target it to your php like this:
<form action="/http://www.example.com/formresult.asp" method="get">
Then on the receiver file you should type the handling of the results

Auto Login html for live.com account

Good Evening Everyone. I need some help with an auto login procedure.
Specific Question = How can I get initiate a 2nd form action within the same html page? I also need to create a 5 second delay so the 1st action can complete
The Result I'm looking for = I want to double click on saved .html file and then get automatically logged into my email
The Website =
HTML Code:
https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=13&ct=1489346474&rver=6.7.6640.0&wp=MBI_SSL&wreply=https%3a%2f%2foutlook.live.com%2fowa%2f%3fauthRedirect%3dtrue%26nlp%3d1&id=292841&CBCXT=out&fl=wld&cobrandid=90015
How did I get this URL? = msn.com>clicked on outlook>clicked on sign in
The problem =
I have created a javascript function within a saved html page and I can get past the login in page. The issue is that I cannot get my password to be correctly placed in the password field and the submit button to work. For my live.com account it is a 2 page authentication. The first page is where you place your username and click next and then the 2 page is where you enter your password and click sign in.
What I have tried =
(1)Because there is a placeholder text, I've tried a POST method, but
I can't get it to work. POST would be best, but I can't figure it
out.
(2) I've tried get element by id and that does not work because
my password is just written on top of the placeholder text and does
not get replaced
(3) CURRENT STATE. What I have written now is 2 form
actions. The 1st form action (logonForm) enters my username and the
2nd form action (passForm) is supposed to enter my password and then
log me in. Is 2 form actions the best way to accomplish this?
WHAT I HAVE SO FAR =
<html>
<body style="display: none">

I am a new student to java and I'm ambitious about coding, developing, and learning. I just can't seem to get this figured out. I'm sure my html/java looks like a jumbled mess but that's because I've been trying all types of things to see if anything would work and I got excited when i was able to get past the login page.
I do apologize for the long post, I just wanted to get as much info as I have out. I'm trying to be as specific as I can be. This is my first post in stack overflow and I couldn't be more excited to be part of this community.
Thanks in advance for your help!

You cannot do this.
Once a <form> is sent (either as GET or POST), which is a synchronous action, your script basically stops executing, and unless the targeted webpage fails to load (and the browser doesn't display an error page, which can happen with severe network issues), .submit() is a no-return function : if it executed properly, you're not on the same page any more.
Letting you run scripts from a webpage onto a newly loaded other would be the open door to loads of security issues, so this, by design, is not allowed. As such, you can't get your password to be typed in automatically into the log-in form.
In addition, Microsoft account forms are subject to CSRF verification, preventing you from logging in from a page not sent by Microsoft, i.e. your HTML file.
Also, what you are trying to achieve is exactly the purpose of password managers that provide some sort of browser integration.

Multiple <buttons> in single form - Values not getting passed to POST

It's been an hour of straight out binging on SO and can't seem to find a solution anywhere.
I have a single form that has multiple buttons.
Buttons:
Fetch Email
Save
Skip
Ban
The first one fetches an email address from MySQL using Ajax. This one works fine.
The last 3 should refresh the page and perform an action based on the value.
The problem is that the button tags are not getting passed through to POST. All other form fields get passed without a problem.
I've built it using Chrome, tested on Firefox and IE and the same issue occurs. No submit values.
Here's some of the JS that's involved
<script type="text/javascript">
//saves and goes to next page
function submitForm(action)
{
document.getElementById('ajaxform').action = action;
document.getElementById('ajaxform').submit();
}
**Form **
<form name="ajaxform" id="ajaxform" action="inc/scripts/email_api.php" method="POST" >
<input type="text" name="fname" placeholder="First Name" id="fname" required />
<input type="text" name="lname" placeholder="Last Name" id="lname" required/>
<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $domain;?>" name="domainName" id="domainName">
<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $article_id;?>" name="articleId" id="articleId">
<button id="run-code" name="getEmail" onclick="return validateForm()" >Run Code</button>
<input type="radio" value="blog" name="websiteType" id="blog">
<input type="radio" value="junk" name="websiteType" id="junk">
<input type="radio" value="guest" name="websiteType" id="guest">
<input type="button" name="save" value="save" onclick="submitForm('<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>')" id="saveContinue" disabled />
<input type="button" name="skip" value="skip" onclick="submitForm('<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>')" id="skip" />
<input type="button" name="ban" value="ban" onclick="submitForm('<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>')" id="ban" />
</form>
I should also mention that I have tried having it as type="submit" and the values still do not get passed. I have also tried with having all of the buttons have the same name, but that did not work either.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

type="button" elements do not get submitted in a form
Try changing to type="submit" which by default will submit the form without needing any javascript

Found the problem for anyone else struggling with this.
The issue was submitting the submit buttons using the line of Javascript which I found here on SO.
I'm no expert in JS, but for whatever reason, the function was preventing the post Vars from being sent. So I found a workaround to add an onclick outside of a function to the buttons.
<input type="submit" name="save" value="save" onclick='this.form.action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>"' id="save" disabled />
<input type="submit" name="skip" value="skip" onclick='this.form.action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>"' id="skip" />
<input type="submit" name="ban" value="ban" onclick='this.form.action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>"' id="ban" />
After doing this, the buttons would no longer work. So the trick to fix this is to add novalidate to your <form> tag.

How to get around the FormSpree redirect?

I got my website over on the Github Pages Service. I'm trying to implement the FormSpree free contact form but after you submit the form, it redirects you to a different website. Something I'd like to avoid. So I looked it up on the internet and of course others wanted to get rid of it too (I omitted my email in the below picture).
This is the form I got above but it doesn't actually work at all. It worked before I tried to fiddle with it though.
Here is what the form looks like by default from FormSpree:
<form action="//formspree.io/your#email.com"
method="POST">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="email" name="_replyto">
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
Here is my version (which worked fine before I tried to get around the redirect)
<div class=modal-body style="background-color: #454545">
<p>Please use the form below to contact us regarding feedback or any questions you may have!
We will never use the information given below to spam you and we will never pass on your
information to a 3rd party.</p>
<p>As we are using <a target="_blank" href="http://formspree.io">FormSpree</a> for this form

<form id="contactform" method="POST">
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon">Name</span>
<input name="form-name-input" type="text" name="name" class="form-control" required>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon">Email</span>
<input name="form-email-input" type="email" name="_replyto" class="form-control" required>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon">Subject</span>
<input name="form-subject-input" type="text" name="subject" class="form-control" required>
</div>
<div class="input-group">
<span class="input-group-addon">Description</span>
<textarea name="form-description-input" name="description" class="form-control" rows="4" cols="60" required></textarea>
</div>
<input type="text" name="_gotcha" style="display:none" />
<input class="btn btn-success" data-dismiss="modal" type="submit" id="form-submit-btn" value="Submit">
<input type="hidden" name="_next" value="http://www.dynamicrealities.net" onclick="FormSentConfirmation()"/>
</div>
<script>
var contactform = document.getElementById('contactform');
contactform.setAttribute('action', '//formspree.io/' + 'dynamicrealities#gmail.com');
</script>
</form>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer" style="background-color: #333333">
<button class="btn btn-danger btn-bg" data-dismiss="modal" type="button" id="form-dismiss-btn" onclick="">Close</button>
</div>
And when I call _next I want it to execute the following alert:
function FormSentConfirmation() {
alert('Thanks for the email, we\'ll be in touch promptly.');
}
When I press the Submit button, all that happens is that the form goes away but I don't receive any emails. I'm probably just doing this wrong as I am fairly new still to HTML/JavaScript.

Update: The feature available only on paid plans.
Use this hidden input field inside the form for redirection after form submission. You can redirect users to a page that you like or you have created by using this code block.
<input type="hidden" name="_next" value="//site.io/thanks.html" />
replace value with a valid thank-you page URL.
Follow this link for a tutorial on how to use Formspree and also a video demo

Follow their AJAX example at the bottom: https://formspree.io/
$("#sendMessage").on("click", function() {
$.ajax({
url: "//formspree.io/dynamicrealities#gmail.com",
method: "POST",
data: {message: "hello!"},
dataType: "json"
});
});
Remember to include jQuery as well for this to work. Remove the:
var contactform = document.getElementById('contactform');
contactform.setAttribute('action', '//formspree.io/' + 'dynamicrealities#gmail.com
and replace it with my code and change the selector. Or use $("form").on("submit"...
Here is my example, which sends you a mail and prompts an alert for the user: http://jsfiddle.net/228d4snb/
Do anything you'd like to do right before that return false;

You can put the form in an iframe so only the iframe gets redirected. What I did was create a separate html doc with just the contact form html (and any associated scripts) and then in my actual contact.html page I put:
<iframe src="contact-form.html" class="container"></iframe>.
Style the iframe to the appropriate size and with no border and it should work swimmingly.

Need form to open in new window, possibly via javascript

I'm trying to get my form to open up in a new window when the Search button is clicked, but the target="_blank" function is not working. I'm borrowing code from another institution's form, and I'm wondering if the javascript is forcing each submission to open in the same window (I'm not familiar enough with javascript to know for sure).
The search that I need to open in a new window is from the "Books & More" tab of the following website: http://library.utb.edu/search/search2. This is the code that I'm using for that form:
<form target="_blank" name="searchform" onSubmit="return dosearch();" action="http://lib3.utpa.edu/search~S2/X" method="post" class="unpadded">
<input name="searcharg" value="" type="text" id="SEARCH" class="big-search-text" placeholder="Example: Of Mice and Men">
<input class="big-search-submit" name="cmdSubmit" type="submit" value="Search">
<input name="searchtype" type="radio" checked="" value="http://lib3.utpa.edu/search~S2/Y"> All Fields
<input name="searchtype" type="radio" value="http://lib3.utpa.edu/search~S2/t" target="_blank"> Title
<input name="searchtype" type="radio" value="http://lib3.utpa.edu/search~S2/a"> Author
Advanced Search
</form>
Any suggestions you could give would be greatly appreciated!

You can try putting your formtarget="_blank" in your submit input tag.
Example:
<input formtarget="_blank" class="big-search-submit" name="cmdSubmit" type="submit" value="Search">
