Super-simple AngularJS app I'm trying to build, to accept credentials into two text boxes, then use two-way binding to redirect on a button click to a url which includes the two variables in it.
My problem is, I can get it working for a simple
<a href=...>
(or maybe ng-href=...) but for some reason, no matter what I do, I can't get a redirect using a
<button>
I've tried a lot of variations, but here's what I'm trying to do
<button ng-click=$location.path('http://example.com/login.jsp?un={{username}}&pw={{password}}') class=btn btn-lg btn-warning>Log In!</button>
I CAN get it working if I call a function in a controller, but this is such a simple thing, I'd like to get it done on the page if possible.
Also, as a side-question, what are the security concerns of logging into a site like this?
**
Edit: The part that confuses me is, this works (just without two-way binding working):
<button onClick=window.open('http://www.example.com/{{username}}');>
I'd expect that changing onClick to ng-click would give me the same behaviour, but with two-way binding.
**Re-Edit / Solution
Alright, so I finally got a workable solution.
I have NO idea why the Button tag won't work to give this behaviour, as stated above, but here's the working code.
<a href=https://www.example.com/login.jsp?un={{username}}&pw={{password}} class=btn btn-lg btn-warning>Log In!</a>
By giving it the same class as I intended to use for the button, the text shows up looking like a button, just the same.
