How to change form action?
Question
Traditional Web
Application Type
Traditional Web

Hello guys,


I need to find a way to change the form action at runtime.

The screen WebScreen5 is created by default like this:
<form method="post" action="./WebScreen5.aspx" onsubmit="javascript:return WebForm_OnSubmit();" id="WebForm1" name="WebForm1">

I need to change it to:
<form method="post" action="https//www.google.com" onsubmit="javascript:return WebForm_OnSubmit();" id="WebForm1" name="WebForm1">
I've tried using the AddPostProcessingFilter action but it seems to only work on the "HEAD" section, not the "BODY". Is there a replacement method?

regards

I found that I can do this just by executing some javascript, after the screen has rendered:
var thisForm = document.getElementById("WebForm1");    
thisForm.action = "https://www.google.pt";

And how did you implement this with OutSystems? I think you can do something with an External URL

I really need to manipulate the body of the html.
It's not just a simple navigation that I need.
